Disappearing Books

All my books that I had downloaded through Dropbox have disappeared in My Library. I have already deleted them out of Dropbox once they loaded to Books.

Is there anything I can do to get them back?

Re-download them from the source where you originally purchased them.

Books on Apple Books are missing I download PDFs of books or articles online and I like reading them on Apple Books since I can highlight things and add annotations that are saved to both my laptop and phone. Today I tried opening a book and noticed that all of my books and PDFs were gone. I looked at the original downloaded PDFs in my files and all of the highlights and annotations are gone. I am doing research so this is very inconvenient, I cant just lose all that work. What happened and how can I get the highlights back?

Apple Books Keeps Deleting My Books How do I prevent the Books apps from deleting (moving to the cloud) copies of my books? This is extremely frustrating as I find myself on a plane or a boat or somewhere without Internet access and my books miraculously deleted. It's not a storage saving issue because my books take up less than a GB and I've got hundreds of GB of free space. I don't see an option in settings to prevent books from being deleted. Is there a workaround to this bug?

Unable to find my Books EPUB files on iPhone. I have a number of books on my iPhone (iphone 11, iOS 17). I cannot find the files. I see lots of folks seem to have this problem. My issue is I do not have a Mac computer. All I have is my iPhone and my iCloud account. The files are in neither of these locations. I do know the file is somewhere because Books regulalrly deletes the books (even though I have plenty of cloud storage), and I have to redownload them. Most of the books have not been bought through the Apple bookstore, so I cannot check there. Any suggestions Apple community? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
