> trapped in their ecosystem How so? I think I could easily pull all my data out. Files are, well, files; contacts and calendars can be exported in standard formats; photos are stored as JPEG or raw; music is MPEG-4; e-books are epubs; whatever. Sure, I'll lose some features, but that's because other platforms don't offer those features, not because Apple is heinously putting extra effort into locking up my data.

> e-books are epubs Are you sure ? I don’t use iBook but it doesn’t look to me like you can just export them as e-pubs and be done with it: https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-export-ibooks-from-iphone-ipad-to-computer/ https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-export-ibooks-from-iphone-...

  Not sure actually, I realised I have never bought a book from Apple. The books I have in Apple Books are all epubs though. So, the program can deal with that format, but not sure what format purchased books have.
