Apple Books 12+

Are use the book app every single day. I read my books on my phone using the Books app. I love it because I always have my book with me wherever I go. This has been going on for over 20 years with me and the books app.

However, there is one part of reading a book that is very irritating. I only read books for pleasure I do not need the editing features. So I am constantly having to erase the highlights because my fingers touch the screen too long often or I press to hard to move the page. Is there anyway that Apple could add a feature that would allow a person to turn off the editing feature all together? It would make the Books app even more pleasurable to use.

I would also like to complement the filing feature within the app especially when I read books in a series. It keeps up with what I’ve already read and which book in the series comes next. That is a wonderful part of the Books app since I have almost 200 books out in my Books file.

So thank you for the Books app and please at sometime in the future that minor change would be very much appreciated.

iOS 15 has been a really buggy update whether it’s on my iPad or iPhone. It has terribly affected Books in the following ways: (1) The Book App keeps reloading my PDFs, etc. each time I open it. I’ve restarted my devices and it still does this. (2) Since the iOS 15 update (and the latest fixes to the iOS) not all of my stuff in Books is syncing properly across my devices and even my iMac. I regularly (like weekly or more often) back up my devices to the iCloud, so why is this happening? I’ve already lost a few PDFs because of this. (3) Since the latest iOS (and subsequent updates to it), I keep getting in the Books App that my iCloud Storage is Full. I pay for 50 GB of storage monthly and have only used up 8.8 GB to date. And that is the total of backing up all my Apple Devices, so I shouldn’t be seeing “Your iCloud Storage is Full”. In fact, I wonder if this iCloud Storage Full glitch is part of the problem why the stuff in my Books App is not syncing correctly. I’ve looked all of this up online and many others are having the same problems. People are warning others not to update yet to the iOS 15 update. I wish I would have listened. PLEASE PLEASE fix this. Thank you!

I’ve been using iPad since the very first one came out and one of the apps I use most often is the Apple Books app. I have about 2000+ PDFs and a number of purchase books and ever since I updated iOS 15 on my iPad Pro I’ve had nothing but grief with his application.
I’ve done all the normal things; run diagnostics, restarted, rebooted, deleted the app, factory reset, and made sure I was up to the most current revision etc… and it’s still extremely unstable.
It randomly crashes, it randomly loses all the bookmarks, It randomly loses the most recent PDFs I’ve opened and that was made more difficult since the search program got hosed but seems to been recently fixed with the last update.
All my subdirectories get randomly cleared of all books and I’m told that I have no books orPDFs.

I contacted Apple for support and the support technician agreed that based on the symptoms that I described and the fact that I had gone through all the normal Debug procedures that it was most likely related to the latest update. They proceeded to connect me to the next level support and unfortunately they connected me to the wrong department. When I called back I had to rehash the whole explanation of my problem all over again and I still don’t have a satisfactory answer.

It’s nice to have new features in the new iOS but I wish they would test the iOS better before they release it.
Apple get your act together.
