I just installed my macbook pro m1 completley new for my wife with hear appleID. Everything works fine except Books app. Account is signedin to Apple ID, Macbook is Authorized.

But:

Books -> Settings -> General

if I tick "Download new purchases automatically" it only stays ticked for a few seconds, and then is unticked again.

I did not have this issue on my imac with my account. Signout from Apple ID Deauthorizing the Computer, waiting 24h hours Sign in again and authorizing the Computer again did not fix the issue. Same issue after a complete reinstall of MacOS. Even with Macos Ventura 13.4 the issue persists.

How can I fix this?
