OK, well the situation has improved slightly, in that I now have single items
being copied from the list view in Books into a list in Finder using
drag-and-drop. But still no joy with multi-select.
The difference: use the Catalina version of Books, instead of the Mojave one.

When you're grabbing the book from within the Books app, do you mouse-down on
the title, or some other portion of the columnar information?

Hi Tim,
Thanks so much for trying, but I’m afraid it’s just no go for me. I’ve tried
everything now, I’m sure. I even checked the size and positioning of the
windows and ensured Books and Finder each had a half to themselves. But
whatever I do, I just can’t make Books transfer books—even one
Hi Sabahattin,
Using the "select All" does seem to cause problems. I'm not sure if it's
because of one specific book, or if it has something to do with some other
restrictions. If I download 20 books, all goes fine. I haven't tried pushing
further than that yet. You're welcome to try. It's

One more thing I forgot to mention. Silly me, too much of a rush I guess.

Hi Sabahattin,
To accomplish this with VoiceOver, do the following:
• create a folder on your Desktop. Perhaps name it Books.
• open the Books app.
• find the non-protected file you wish to drag.
• press VO-cmd-f5 to bring the mouse to the VO focused item.
• Press VO-cmd-shift-space to invoke mo

The correct way is to drag the books from the Books app to a Finder window.
Only, in keeping with Apple’s commitment to accessibility, there’s no keyboard
shortcut to do that and I’ve never made it work with VoiceOver commands. Good

Did this indeed work? It seems that there should definitely be an easier way

If you have iBooks enabled in iCloud Drive options, you will probably find them

Hi,
If this is on iOS or iPadOS, try tapping the Library tab, locate the title you
wish to share, swipe up/down to hear Show Actions Pop-Over, then double-tap.
You should have Copy, Share book, and a bunch of other choices. Double-tap
Share Book and see if that does the trick.

So I tried tapping share, and sent it to his email. But he says that all he got
was the text, that is, the title of the file, not the actual book.
