iBookCopy
iBookCopy is a utility for macOS that copies or backs up ebooks from Apple's Books app (iBooks) to unencrypted files on disk. It allows users to extract DRM-protected ebook files in formats like PDF and EPUB for personal backup, archiving, or use on other devices. The app is distributed by TunesKit and targets users who want to retain local copies of their book library outside the Books ecosystem.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about iBookCopy to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. The app may still be Intel-only, and with Rosetta 2 set to be removed in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should verify the current status before relying on it long-term. Contact the developer (TunesKit) directly through their website or support channels to ask whether they have released or plan to release a native Apple Silicon build. If you need a backup plan, consider exploring alternative ebook management or extraction tools that explicitly state Apple Silicon support—many modern ebook utilities have added native builds in recent years. In the meantime, your Intel copy will continue to work via Rosetta, but you should resolve this before the September 2028 deadline.
