How can I download multiple books at once on Books app?

I can download each book separately but not many at once. Is there a work around?

Re: Books has no multiple download ?


Seems many kinds of new book purchases can only be downloaded one at a time, yet am no expert on this.


Wondering if these downloads are new purchases, updates, or books purchased on another device.

Eg:

If you use iCloud: You can Use iCloud to read and listen on all your devices with Books on Mac - Apple Support


Apple Support's online article may or may not be helpful.

Download purchased and updated books or audiobooks in Books on Mac - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Tip: You can have books you purchase on other devices download automatically to your Mac.

In the Books app on your Mac, choose Books > Settings, click General,

then select “Download new purchases automatically”.


NB: The above article also has other "how to" info. for various scenarios, and info. on settings.
