> Have you used Books extensively or just skimmed it? There's no way to keep books on device, make another Google search if you do not believe me.

Once you download a book to a device, it stays downloaded. There is a setting to automatically remove downloads once you're finished with the book, but that defaults to off (and I didn't even realize it was there until I went looking just now).

This is objectively false. I suggest you do a simple google search or read my other comment.

I read your other comment. It looks like you're talking about iCloud Storage there. Books downloaded from the Apple Books Store do not go into iCloud Storage. Books you've uploaded are stored in iCloud.

I just checked my phone, I have 169 books downloaded. This includes many books I haven't looked at for years and years. This includes many books that I bought 3, 4, 5 iPhones ago and are still present, copied from device to device, because Books does not remove store downloads unless asked to.
