Buying & Stores on Apple Books

Where to buy, regional locks, refunds, subscriptions, and family sharing.

Store books come from Apple Books. Imported EPUB and PDF are ordinary files and do not need a second purchase.

Request refunds through Report a Problem / Apple support. Approval is case by case.

Family Sharing can share eligible store purchases. Imported files are not automatically shared.
