Can’t share book in Family Sharing

Hi. I’m trying to access a book purchased by a family sharing member but it only lets me read a sample. After 44 pages I have to purchase it, even though this family member already bought it. Is it because we live in different markets? USA vs Central Am? I was able to download another book from my family member’s library, however.


thanks in advance!

Family sharing members normally have to be in the same country.


Was the one you were able to download a paid-for book?
