Hi , thanks BetterRed
i found automator on Mac but there is no ibook option. I will try to research how to use it, but i thought i might have a quick answer as ive spent so much time back and forth on my ipad with icloud, itunes etc and lost all my books so many times that I am getting fed up with apple and dont want to rely upon their clunky system. There is one book in there in ibooks that I specifically want in another application. I have spent a week on this already can you believe?
