Good to know
Starting on your iPhone?
Choose Import, then Apple Books, and tap Remind me on my Mac. Next time you open Audiostacks on your Mac, it asks if you want to bring your library in. Choose Later and it waits at the top of Import.
Only use Books on iPhone?
Apple doesn’t let other apps read Books on iPhone. Forward your Apple receipts to add purchases automatically, or paste a list.
My highlights too?
Yes, from the same Books folder. Bring in your Apple Books highlights.
Are PDFs imported?
No. Only books and audiobooks come in.
