I want to share iBooks with my adult daughter. Family sharing allows that, but also shares iTunes and app store purchases. She frequently purchases games for her son, which would now be charged to me instead of her. Is there a way to limit Family Sharing to only iBooks?
Hi Russell Menko,
I understand you wish to share iBooks purchases with your adult daughter. Although Family Sharing is a great way to share purchases, it can not be limited to just one section of the iTunes Store.
So, the only way you can share you iBook purchases with your daughter is to give her your Apple ID and password. Here again, she would have access to all of your purchased content, which may not be what you want.
The other option is to periodically gift a favorite title from the iBook Store to her. I'm sure she'd appreciate your thoughtfulness.
