Are audio books able to be downloaded through family sharing?

I set up family sharing and was hopeful the entire family could enjoy audio books together (listening separately). I can find songs, music and Aps from all family members but not audio books. Is there a way to share them across different Apple IDs?

iPad 2, iOS 8

Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing


"

If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows that you downloaded from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.

There are a few things that you can't share:

  • Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
  • In-App Purchases
  • Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
  • Items that were hidden
  • Apps that aren't shareable

If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music."
