family sharing ibooks

My family just set up Family Sharing and I want to share my ibooks with them and I'm having issues finding how to do this. I went into iTunes Purchases and I can't find my ibooks purchases, I went into iBooks and I don't see a way to do it, so I'm running out of ideas. Can anybody help? Thank you!

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Jeff,


My family and I are able to share purchased apps and music, so at least part of the sharing system is working (as a positive control).


However, when we go into iBooks>Purchased>Family member's name>Books, nothing shows up. Even if we wait for a while (as is sometimes necessary for apps), nothing shows up. We have tried restarting the phone and logging in and out of iCloud.


What should we do?
