iPad Not enough storage on this iPad when using Books

[iabm]

Hi all,

I've recently started using eBook and the iBooks app. I tend to airdrop them from my Mac to iPad and choose to open then in books where they then sync. The last few books I've added a message has popped up saying not enough storage on this iPad. The book stills goes into the app and I can still read it and my iPad has plenty of space on it etc. I don't have much on it. Apps and books (less than 15). I don't have iCloud photos turned on etc.

Any ideas or is it just a bug? I've looked around online and have seen post from over 5 years ago about this with no definitive answer. Other than wiping the iPad which I'm not doing as there is surely no need to...

Thanks in advance!

Ben

Can you post a screen shot of your iPad storage?

Can you post a screen shot of your iPhone storage?

Also post your Mac storage.

Can you shine a light on your thought process here?

Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply!

Attached is a screenshot of my MacMini storage and my iPad storage.

As I say, the message pops up about storage. It offers to take me to settings or cancel. I cancel it and the books still seem to go into the app.

Thanks,
Ben

But the error message doesn’t show up on the Mac, the issue is most definitely on the iPad.

Thanks for sharing. Looks like a bug somewhere. Maybe report it to Apple to see if they’re aware or have a fix.
