The menu item OPEN BOOKS is greyed out. Why? I cannot open any books at all.

Click on the book then try. It's easier to just double click on a book to open it.

Apple Books won't allow me to look at new books. I am trying to purchase a book from bookbub on Apple Books and it will not do to the book page. It states "Sorry something happened try again."

Purchased Books open on iPad but not on MacBook Pro All the books I have purchased I have previously been able to read on my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. Now, when launched on my MacBook Pro (Early 2015, Monterey 12.4) all these books give the following error: "Cannot Open “(Title}" "It is formatted incorrectly, or is not a format that Apple Books can open." Strangely, some purchased books which I have read are tagged "New" and these will open. All others tagged "Finished" or a percentage read will not open. Accessing them via the bookstore (choosing Read or Sample) results in the error above. PDFs I have imported to Books continue to open OK.
