I have about 6 books I use in offline mode.

I just updated the app, and now my library is empty. when I launch the app it gives me error that it can't find book in offline mode.

 

what happened?

    On my iphone things are far worse. offline books are a no go and my library  consists basically of  only Bibles.

    Lost all my downloads but logging off brought all my books back in the library.

    I had the same thing happen to me.  The upgrade has cost me (and many others I assume) countless hours of downloading and data usage (if your data plan is not unlimited).  I would like to ask the developers to not write upgrades in such a way that downloaded books are lost in the future. 

    The suggestion just after your post worked for me.  I signed off and signed on again under the "More" menu; the accessible books were again viewable under the library tab, but I lost the few downloaded books that I had left on my iPhone.

    Very annoying.  Is this going to happen with every new upgrade, I wonder?

    In my experience, I have not lost any downloaded books, even when upgrading to a new version.  The only time I lost anything is when I had to delete the app and then reinstall.  I wish they had a way that itunes could back up your downloads, but at this point I don't think it is possible.  I have downloaded about 90% of everything available for my library and have not had any losses yet.  I have had some problems with the app, but no data losses...
