I like Apple Books for epub (syncs across devices) but I don't like the random offloading of books from the device to iCloud. I read the most when I'm offline (at the beach or camping in the mountains) and I'll get there only to discover half of my books have been offloaded from my phone. There's no setting to prevent this.
- carlosjobim 3y agoGet an e-ink reader to bring to the beach! They are cheap and incredible for reading. You'll never want to squint-read on your phone again.
- nathancahill 3y agoYeah, you're probably right!
- fnimick 3y agoNot just that, if you get an e-ink reader that runs a modern version of Android, you can also edit documents, write emails, etc on a paper-like display. Far better than using a traditional tablet or phone for text communication. If there were a display compatible with PC inputs that I could put on my desk instead of a second monitor, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
- ta988 3y agoThey exist already. look for e-ink displays.

- harrulous 3y agoFor me, Apple Books for MacOS will aggressively and unnecessarily sync epubs to iCloud, even with the current book while I'm reading. It makes it difficult to actually use Apple Books, as I get kicked out of my book every few minutes. It is even worse when I have no internet connection, as it will randomly attempt and fail to sync, blocking you from reading that book at all.
