    Hey there AlanHartley, thanks for reaching out to us here!

    When you tap the export option, from the app options along the top of the pop up please scroll to the right and tap on "More".

    From here, do you see an option to "Copy to Books"?

    If not, can you just makes sure that you have the most up to date versions of the Dropbox mobile app and the Books app?

    Also, please let me know what file type you're trying to export (eg. PDF).

    Let me know what you find!
