You mean she is tapping her icon at the top of the 'Reading Now' tab and your id ? Has she tried logging out and back into the account in the app ? If she has, what is the full text of the message she gets when trying to download a book you purchased ?

With Family Share the organiser agrees to pay for all of the members purchases (though if iTunes gift cards are available in your country the members could potentially buy them and redeem them onto their own accounts ; they cannot use their own debit or credit card) - you cannot just share past purchases.
I have Family Share set up now but when a family member tries to read a book she can see my name and the book is listed but she is told she has to buy it to read it.
She is selecting you name in the Purchased section in the Books app ?
She is selecting my name in the Family Purchases section.
Yes. It is working now, thanks!
