title_body: Locating or Copying Epubs in iBooks I made a mistake on an epub I'm working on. I discovered that I left my backup on an external hard drive at work.
  
  No problem, I have a "good" version in iBooks.
  
  But how do I access this copy? I was working in Sigil, and there's a particular xhtml file I want to retrieve from the working copy on iBooks. If I can't locate this book, is there a way to view the HTML or use a SAVE AS command to put a copy on my desktop, or something like that?
  
  I'm using a Mac running El Capitan, by the way.
upvoted_answer: Wouldn't you just be able to use iTunes to copy the file from your tablet/phone onto your desktop? 
  
  It's been a while since I've done it, but after you connect your device and it appears in itunes, you just have to sync it. (I don't think it's going to the cloud, but maybe I'm wrong).
