How do I get a book off of Apple Books to Calibre?

I can read it on my iMac, iPad, & iPhone.

AFAIK you can't. If you want to use Calibre, best not to buy any books from Apple.

I stopped buying books from Apple after I had trouble getting the books, but I have two books I'd like to have available on more than one reader. I guess I don't really have them if I can't read them the way I want.

I stopped buying a couple of years ago with that somehow I got it to Calibre before I discovered it was protected, but recently discovered that I had a book on my Books app that I can find on my Mac, but not in a format that can be loaded onto Calibre (it has a number.epub).
