MacOS – books stored after iBooks migration on Mavericks

booksmacmacos

After upgrading to Mavericks all of my books from iTunes have been migrated to iBooks. They are no longer in my media library and I haven't been able to locate them as of yet. So where does iBooks store your books now?

Best Answer

They are now buried inside the user Library folder.

The full path is: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books

The Books.plist there contains itemID values that connect the book titles with their *.epub or *.ibooks names [iBooks 1.2, OS 10.10.5].
