Where Does KyBook Store Books on iPhone?
KyBook 3 local library, cloud storage links and OPDS catalogs on iOS and Mac.
Last updated
KyBook 3 keeps its catalog on device: imported EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, DJVU, comics and audiobooks plus metadata, shelves, tags and reading positions. Files arrive via Files app, iTunes sharing, the built in browser, SMB shares, WebDAV or cloud pickers.
Cloud and OPDS entries are mostly links with transparent caching. iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Yandex Disk and ownCloud hold the originals; KyBook pulls copies for reading and streams audiobooks. The optional subscription syncs metadata and files across devices, but the free library is per device until you enable it.
