    Hey Metwo, welcome to our forum! 

    I’ve checked on the reply about this, and it comes down to the fact that the function in question is part of iOS, not our app. 

    I have just installed iBooks on my iPhone 6S, and followed these steps (from my previous post) successfully: 

    Once you have your files in your Dropbox, try this to get them to iBooks:  
    • Open the file you want to export, in the Dropbox app
    • Tap the ellipsis (…) on the top-right, and select Export
    • In the lower row of choices, tap “Open In…” 
      • this will show you  a list of apps you can export to
    • Tap on the “Import with iBooks”

    If you’ve tried all the suggestions above, and have not resolved the issue, maybe you could ask Apple about it, or search in an iOS oriented discussion board. Of course it’s always a good idea to make sure your device is fully updated with the latest operating system and our     latest app. 

    Cheers

Did this ever get bumped up and answered?  Still can’t find iBooks as option.
