Additional Tips
– Deleting a book from iBooks only removes it from your device; it does not delete the book from your iCloud library. If you want to remove a book from all your devices, you must delete it from your iCloud library as well.
– To delete multiple books at once, you can select multiple books by holding down the Command (⌘) key and clicking on each book. Then, right-click (or Control-click) on one of the selected books and choose “Delete.” You will be prompted to confirm the deletion for all selected books.
– If you have purchased a book from the iBooks Store and later decide you no longer want it, you can restore it by going to the “Purchased” section in the iBooks app and selecting the book to download it again.
By following these steps, you can easily delete books from iBooks and keep your library organized and up-to-date.
