Seems like it is not possible to transfer books from Apple Books to Calibre in MacOS 12. My wife downloads free books on her ipad. She opens them in Apple Books and sometimes she transfers them from Apple Books to Calibre on her Mac. It has always worked until now.

I tried to download the same free book on her iPad to Files (iCloud) instead and then transferred the file from iCloud Drive on her Mac to Calibre and that works fine.

So Apple have probably added some copy protection even on free books that doesn’t come from Books store.

Problem is still there but the work around is smoother.
