reading documents from different apps on iOS

I want to ask that can I access the books which are saved in iBooks or in any other application on iOS devices. Can I import those books in my iOS apps?

I tried to use UIDocumentInteractionController but it didn't work. So, I'm looking for any other alternative solution which I can apply in my app.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can get access to some files outside of your app container with UIDocumentPickerViewController with iOS 8. But you'll only get access files the user chooses and that other apps have made available at the right place. This is not the case for books.

No, it is not possible to access the documents data of some other app (unless Jailbroken), this would be breach of security/privacy, any app who would try to do so by any means will be reject in App Store review.
