Syncing iBooks to PC
By Syncing your iPad or iPhone with your PC will help you to get a copy of your favorite Book on your computer. Also, getting started with synchronization options is pretty easy. You will need to connect your Apple device to your computer and use iTunes.

After that, you will need to change your library settings using the drop down menu from the left and select Books.
Then right click on the Book that you wish to read and select the “Show in Windows Explorer” option. And when Windows Explorer opens up, you can note down the location for future access.
However, you should not change the location of the Book. As it will mess up things.
