Sharing purchased iBooks with family

I purchased an iBook on my phone and shared it with my husband. When he tries to download it, it says "you cannot redownload this" - and he does not have access to the book. We are all listed on our family sharing page in settings and the toggles are all on (sharing, purchases).
