help Apple Books FAQ

Can Apple Books be used on Android or Windows?

Apple does not offer a full Apple Books reading app for Android or Windows. The native app is built into Apple's iPhone, iPad, and Mac platforms, which makes it a poor fit for readers who regularly switch to non-Apple devices.

Do Apple Books purchases sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

Yes, books, audiobooks, collections, bookmarks, and reading position can sync through iCloud when the devices use the same Apple Account and Books syncing is enabled. Locally imported PDFs and EPUB files may also sync when iCloud Drive support for Books is active.

Can I add my own EPUB and PDF files to Apple Books?

Yes, Apple Books can open DRM-free EPUB documents and PDFs imported through Files, Mail, Safari, AirDrop, or Finder. Files protected by another seller's DRM, such as Amazon Kindle purchases, cannot simply be imported.

Can Apple Books purchases be read on a Kindle?

Not directly. Books purchased from Apple's store generally use Apple's platform and cannot be transferred as ordinary Kindle files, while DRM-free EPUBs must be obtained separately and sent through Amazon's supported conversion workflow.
