Unable to open iBooks on my iPad

When I open iBooks on my iPad all my books are displayed but I can’t open any of them. I tap on a book and nothing happens. I’ve removed a couple of books from my library and re-downloaded them and that didn’t help. It happened immediately after the last update (18.1.1). Any advice?

Why won't my PDFs open in Apple Books? I save plenty of info as PDFs in Books. The last time I accessed one of these files was yesterday (7/31/24). Today, none of these PDFs will open. There is no error message. I’ve force restarted iPad. Closed the Books app. Same issue. iOS is up-to-date (7/30/24). I was able to access the PDFs after the update so the update doesn’t appear to be the issue . Called Apple—aside from restarting iPad and closing the Books their ideas—delete the app or reset network settings. Neither of these are good options for me. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple iBooks Since installing IOS 16 I cannot close the book I'm reading in Apple iBooks to get back to my library. I've have tapped all over my screen. Hit the X in the top right corner which just closes the app. I've called up menu in the bottom right corner where all it gives me are the Contents, Search Book, Themes & Settings, and upload icon and the bookmark contact. It has no home/library button to tap. Any ideas of what to do? This is maddening as I tend to read most of my ebooks on this app.

Unable to open book on Apple Books app in my iPad. For the last month, I have intermittently not been able to open books in my library. Now I can’t at all. Most of the books no longer display their covers, now simply a solid cover with the book title. I have updated to IOS 18.3.1. I have heard that the latest few updates are the cause of the problem.
