Are books being stored in the Cloud?

On holidays, I am often in places where there is no network. And I have no access to my books.

How can I make sure that the 2 or 3 books that I am reading are always available?

iPhone SE, iOS 18

Books keep deleting locally if icloud sync is on Hello, my problem is that if I have iCloud sync for books turned on my books after some time gets offloaded locally and stored only in iCloud, therefore when I'm traveling or going somewhere without internet access I can't read my books (terrible design choice btw). I have plenty of space in my iCloud and books are pretty much low-weight, I want to be able to access them anytime if I downloaded them once, why do they keep being offloaded? I read other threads about this issue but all of them has no solutions except turning off iCloud for books - what is this answer? I want my books to be accessible across multiple devices but I want to control whichever content is being deleted locally (like in other cloud solutions) Is there something I missing? If not, how to send complaint to apple for them to fix this hideous "smart" offloading.

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?

Downloaded books getting offloaded from Books app on iPad mini. My books keep getting offloaded from the Books app. I’ve been reading on Books for nearly a decade now, but about a few months back, my books kept getting offloaded and I would have to download them back again. I understand this is due to iCloud, and has to do with device storage but I have well over 30GB or so to spare, and I’m getting tired of downloading my hundreds of books again and again when I wanna read them. How do I solve this? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
