HT4059 Can you share iBook purchases?

Is it possible to share iBook purchases with friends?

ibooks are tied to your iTunes account, and they can't be lent or transferred to other accounts - so unless they have access to your iTunes account then no.

No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).

They can't be shared no, they are tied to your iTunes account - so unless the other person has access to your account they won't be able to download the ibook.
I'm not sure whether ebook stores (e.g. Kindle etc) allow you to share their ebooks

"if you can use the Kindle app from iPad to Macbook, shouldn't you be able to do the same with an apple product?"
No.
The kndle app provides this feature.
Ibooks does not.
" I would rather buy books from iBooks"
You can buy form whomever you like.
" but not being able to go from device to device like in Kindle is a problem."

HT4059 Can you Purchase iBooks as gifts like you can in App Store?

In the App Store it give you the option to buy app for yourself or gift it to someone else that has an iPhone or pad.
I am unable to find that same option when Purchasing an iBook.

It's not currently possible to gift ibooks, so the option won't appear

Can you share/lend books that have bought from iBook with others users?

Can you share/lend books that have you have bought from iBook with other iPad users?

At this time, unless I've missed something recently, you cannot. You can load an iBook onto multiple iPads if these are all owned by your household though (you can't give an iBook to a friend, for instance, or a relative that lives elsewhere).
If the ability to lend books is important to you, you may wish to purchase Kindle books from Amazon, though you'll want to confirm that the book has lending enabled - not all do - and that the Kindle app for iOS supports lending.
This is one of the several advantages of physical books; the ability to loan them out or give them to someone else. Whether the book publishers will ever allow similar unfettered handling of electronic books is unknown, though I'd guess they'll be dragged to it kicking and screaming.
Regards.

Hi Charlie42,
Happy New Year! The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing. Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content. The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable. Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

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 from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App 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

Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.
