Stu109, you are a lifesaver !

I downloaded and installed the 'Retrofit' version of iTunes, backtracked to an older version of iLibrary, and presto, I have the traditional iTunes connection to iBooks (and Apps) !

But now comes the next problem: I can't connect Calibre to iTunes anymore. In my frustration over iTunes 12.7, I deleted the 'connect to iTunes' option under Connect/share. And now I can't find the 'Apple' plugin among current plugins.

Can someone share their saved plugin with me ? Are there problems using this plugin with iOS 11 ? In which case I am prepared to go out and buy a used, non-upgraded iPad just to maintain my traditional iBooks setup - or is there a retrofit also for this ?
