Can’t see PDF books on the books app on Mac

So I recently downloaded some PDFs to the books app on my phone. All my devices are synced together so I can see it on my IPad but not on my Mac. I have the sync settings on, on my Mac but when I go to iCloud Drive in system preferences it doesn’t have books as an option.

Apple Books don't sync to iCloud When I add a PDF to the Books app in MacOS the file isn't uploaded to iCloud, even though it should be (according to the settings). I'm logged in to all my devices with the same Apple ID, but the file is not available anywhere else than locally on the Mac where it was imported. I have tried to log in/out and to turn off/on iCloud storage for the app, but nothing helps. Does anyone have an idea of what may be wrong?

Books NOT Syncing Between macOS and iOS Both my iMac (macOS 15.1) and iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 15.6.1) are signed into the same Apple ID and iCloud syncing is enabled for Books. Unfortunately, when I download a new ePub and add it to Books (and a Collection within Books) on my iMac, the Book does NOT appear on my iPhone even a week later. What should I do to troubleshoot syncing Books from my iMac to my iPhone?

Books Option for sync in iCloud Missing in Ventura Hi Team, I have downloaded epubs and have created scanned pdfs of my books in multiple Apple devices names my iPad Pro 2018, iPhone and on my iMac over several years. I need to download and sync all of my books in all my devices every time to be upto date. I had earlier synced my devices using the Finder -> devices -> sync books option for my connected devices and also in iCloud sync books option used to be present. Currently I don't see a sync option for Books in iCloud. Is this Books option deprecated or did apple feel none are using lets disable it, perhaps. Or is there an alternate way to make sure the sync is done automatically.
