How to mark a book as finished if the book won’t close

When I finish a book it does not mark itself as finished, I can not get out of the book to go to my library, it keeps me locked into the book. 🤪

Trying to close a book and get back to the library or store in updated Books app Since the latest updates, I absolutely hate the Books app (and it sounds like that’s a common theme). But the absolute worst thing is that I can’t figure out how to get it to close a book, so for example to close what you’re currently reading (whether book or sample) and get back to the library or store. I’ve tried all kinds of stuff, all over the screen. If there’s a magic word, please tell me what it is. I’ve tried abracadabra and it doesn’t work.

How to close a book book on iPad using iBook The Apple iPad book app does not allow me to close a book I have finished reading. In the past at the end of the book I could swipe from right to left and the book would close. This is not the case now. I currently reboot the iPad to solve this problem I find it extremely annoying.
