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!

Hello kbehnke,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article should help you share book purchases with other members of your family.

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?
Hello community,

But than I can not see the books within this categories to download them to other devices.

I am having the very same problem. I can get to the family share for apps, and music, but when I try to see the books of my other family members, it just gives me a list of the genre with the number of books next to it, but when I click on the list nothing happens.
Good to know that there are more user with this issues out there.
Looking forward that this will be picked up by Apple Support...
