I have the same problem, most books were cut off to the first five pages, I contacted Apple support, they connected to my devices, were very surprised and said they did not know what the problem was. They say that this is the first case in their experience. As I understand it, this happened after the last update in May 2025. All books were purchased online on a third-party service and exported to iBooks. When re-exporting, the same books open completely, but I am not satisfied with this, since all my notes and bookmarks in the books read over the past few years have disappeared. That is, I see them, but I cannot open them in the original file. I really liked using iBooks, but since May I stopped using it until they fix it and return all my books with very important notes for me.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I understand the problem of losing notes. I believe the issue lies with the third-party service. I do not use Apple books. I'm a Kindle user, reading books on my Apple devices using the Kindle app. But I had the same issue with third-party books. I moderate a book club and cannot afford to lose my notes. I have just settled with the idea that if I want to take/keep notes, I have to get my books from Kindle to read in the Kindle app. It's probably the same with Apple Books.
