PDF don't open within Books (macOS)

How can I read PDF (imported) within the Books app in macOS (Ventura)?


They are either opened in Acrobat Reader (set as standard app for .pdf) or in preview even when set Books as standard app for .pdf but never within Books itself.


So I can't sync notes, last location etc. across devices (iPad & Mac).

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4

Sometimes yes, but not in this case. Having done a web search I came across various generic articles like this but none about my specific problem.
