Your response looks like it's for iBooks purchases. I believe what the question is, books purchased 'online' such as from Kindle or elsewhere. I too have this problem where the books that I purchased from another source (not iBooks) but that I have imported into iBooks with the correct epub format are not syncing in iPad. Apparently they're supposed to according to all the literature that says it will along with PDFs, and I was able to have them sync before, but now it's not working. They're readable in iBooks on my MBP late '09 with El Capitan, but they're not on iPad 4 iBooks.

I've double checked every possible sync settings in iBooks on MBP and in iPad, as well as sync settings in the iPad Settings>iBooks. I've restarted both device and MBP. I even looked in the cloud to see if there was an iBooks icon - nope.

Please advise if you have any insight. I'm trying to figure out what I may have done inadvertently to cause this, if I did. For example, I relocated my ePub files into my Digital Editions folder in my Documents so I could organize all my ebooks in their perspective folders (ePub library, Kindle content, PDFs, etc).

The great thing about the Kindle is you don’t need the physical device to read eBooks. Amazon’s Kindle Reader software is available on Mac & PC, Android and iOS devices. The books appear on the phones, but not on Kindle for Mac. Only those books provided by the Kindle store appears on Kindle for Mac. Is there anyway the books that were put in my Kindle cloud through send to kindle app could be shown on Kindle for Mac?

Is it possible that iBooks sync function is confused by this? There seems to be no consensus on where iBooks stores the book files other than it is self-contained or 'an island' as one site says (). But when you move ebooks from iTunes into iBooks upon upgrade to El Capitan it creates that folder, correct? So maybe when I moved my epub files my sync got messed up?

And if so, how do I fix this? No, because iTunes doesn't sync anything back to the iPad anymore I guess. All I know is that I somehow managed to get epubs I converted from Kindle on my iPad once before since my conversion to El Cap and now I can't and I have no idea how I did it before. Magic I guess. If you have any ideas how, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I see another thread of yours says to email them to myself individually?

As in, every single document I acquire that isn't from iTunes I must do this individually? Way to go Apple. Yes, they're readable in iBooks on Macbook. Are you referring to the iPad's Settings>Summary>Books? Or the On My Device>Books? Because if I'm in the Settings menu, in order to Sync Books, iTunes wants to remove all my books 'Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies, TV shows, books, and tones from this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?' And what is it going to sync with?

Because the library in that tab shows all the same books that are On My Device. Nowhere am I seeing an option to sync it with iBooks on my OS X now that it's a separate app. So no, I don't want to do this because I have no idea what iTunes is replacing iPad with when you consider that there is no Books library in iTunes on my Macbook anymore.
