I changed my e-reading device to an Apple iPad Air for about a year ago. I like to list all the books which are imported from my Mac mini, until now, but can't find such a list with Finder. Is there any at all?
Thanks a lot for your time

Hi Hans!
Re: "How can I find a list of all the books in the Books app?"
Seems the "Library" in the Books App contains all the books, whereas the various "Categories" sort the books into sections to make them more manageable.
Apple support's online aticle: Read books in the Books app on iPad - Apple Support
Eg: says:
"Library: Tap to view all of the books, audiobooks, samples, series, and PDFs you either got from the Book Store or manually added to Books.

Also: Seems you can change the display to view as a list:
Organize books in the Books app on iPad - Apple Support
Eg: says you can:
"Organize your books
You can change how the books in your library or a collection are displayed and sorted.
on your iPad.
, then do either of the following:You may want to create a collection to contain all books you have imported from Mac Mini.

Thank you kindly for your reply! Sorry, no, I don't know of a way to export the list.
It is likely you can just select everything in the list, then use "copy" and "paste" into a new document to "save".
Unfortunately there is no possibility to "export". the list which is shown on screen by the Books-app. Not by means of the usual copy/paste or whatsoever. I've looked at it (and tried) from all the directions I could come up with. Books-app is not a books manager at all, but just only a viewer of the e-pubs or pdf files in the books folder wherever these may reside on your system. I jumped on another issue with this app, but that's for a new thread.
Thank you for your reply, and added info. Sorry copy and paste didn't work for you. The only other suggestion I can think of, is to try a screenshot, (or make two or three screenshots if the list is very long). The screenshots could be handled as images for incorporating into a (eg: Text Edit or Pages) document if needed.
Thanks a lot for your answer and suggestions. You helped me a lot. Do you know if it is possible to export the list?
