Remove DRM from eBooks on Mac
Generally, eBooks purchased from mainstream stores, like Amazon/Kobo/Nook/Google Play store, etc, are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM). DRM protects books from unauthorized copying, therefore, we need to remove DRM from eBooks before sharing.
On your Mac, you can download audiobooks from Audible.com, then drag and drop them into Apple Books. If you don't see the Audiobooks icon in the Books app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you might need to update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or you might be in a country or region where audiobooks are not available. Step 3: Select your Mac computer from the list of devices that appear in the AirDrop section. The photos will automatically transfer to the downloads folder on your Mac. That’s all there is to it. Now you can quickly share photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac computer.
