I would try three things:

  • In the Books app, click your name on the bottom left. Does a new window with your account settings open up? If so, try to log in and out.
  • Go to Settings > [your name] > Payment and Shipping. Make sure that you're logged in there and all your details show up.
  • Open the App Store app, click your name on the bottom left, and Account Settings on the top right. Make sure you're logged in there and you can see all your account details.


Let us know how it goes!
