Hi,

I use iBook for a while to store .pdf files retrieved from Safari easily.

I've just migrated my old iCloud account to iCloud Drive. iBook asked me if I want to use the cloud. Bing able to access those files from any device and merging libraries sounded like a good idea.

But, now I see that often some .pdf files previously stored in the local library of my device are discarded from the local storage and I have to download them back from iCloud to read them. There is probably a kind of heuristic based on the document aging, or the local used size.

This could be annoying in some situations with no network (trip in another country, no SIM in my iPAd,...) to not be able to access to some important documents that were previously stored locally.

Is there any way to force the presence of some specific documents (or the whole library) locally on a device, or should I resign in using the cloud features of iBook and disable it back ?

Thanks.
