I have a LOT of un-DRM'd open source books stored in my Books app via iCloud. I am able to see them on my machine by issuing this in terminal:

open ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud\~com\~apple\~iBooks/Documents

My problem is that any ePub I try to open with any normal app (like Calibre) says it's not formatted properly and it won't open. It's as if Books did something to the format for ePub and now I can't get back to any book I put into it. Does anyone know what the deal is and/or how to fix this so I can extract my books out for archiving?

Thank you!
