Open ePub files from Onedrive doesn't show Books as an option

I have my books in ePub format, saved in Onedrive. I cannot get any of these files to open on either my iPad mini or iPhone xR from the Onedrive application.

It never gives me an option to use the Books application to open the file. I cannot seem to figure out how to get these files to open.

Thoughts?

Mike.

Is there a "Save To Files" option? If so, choose it and then open the ePub file from within the Files app to see if Apple Books will open.

What works for me:


  1. Tap the three dots to the right of actual .epub file in the OneDrive app
  2. There is a list of actions tat scroll to the right, starting with AirDrop. If you don't see "Copy to books" there, tap the "..." labeled "More" at the ed of the list
  3. "Copy to books" should be in that list
