Delete free books in ibooks

how can I do this for books that I no longer require, please

Alternate method:
Delete the books from the Books Library in iTunes, telling iTunes to send them to the trash.
Sync your iDevice to iTunes and the books should be deleted from it.

Can't delete free books from iBooks

I tried to download a bunch of free books from iTunes. The download just won't work. Finally I decided to just try and delete them from my bookshelf. Nothing I tried worked;
1) Selected the undownloaded books in question and pressed "delete". Nothing happened. They are in the "Books" folder, not "purchased"
2) Set "Show Purchased" in the iBooks settings to off.
3) Deleted the iBooks App from my iPad. Deleted the books in question from my PC. Even went into the folders and deleted them. If I've deleted the content from my ipad, and from my computer AND told iBooks NOT to sync from iCloud AND told iTunes NOT to sync any books at all, then how is it that iBooks is still showing me books I clearly do not want anymore on my device. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall iBooks, those holding images for the books in question still keep coming up.
It really doesn't say much about a book app when the simplest thing (deleting unwanted books) needs a visit to the support pages.

Books not actually on the iPad will not show up unless you have Show All Purchases set in teh setting app. Even then they will be indicated with a small cloud icon. These will always be in teh Purchsed collection, but can also show up in other collections if you choose to place them there (moving to another collection doesn't effect the Purchased collection).
To delete a book, tap Edit (upper right corner), tap each book to be deleted, Tap Delete (upper left).
If for some reason this doesn't appear to be working correctly, two things to look into:
Open the Settings app > iTunes&App Stores. Check to see if automatic downloads are tuned on for iBooks. If so, turn it off.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

How can i delete some books from ibook?

How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7. This seems to be what worked for me. I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen. I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time) Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel". I chose "delete" and the book was gone. Hope this helps.

HT5544 How to permanently delete unwanted books on iBooks?

How to permanently delete unwanted books on iBooks?

Well, it is possible to delete it permanently.
At first I should notice the problem is that, when you delete a book from ibook in mac the notification which comes up tells that the book would remain in icloud so you have to delete it from icloud.
To do this, open itunes, click on itunes store link on top right, now your your apple id should be show up on top left side, now click on books link next to app store on top, this full page is apple bookstore, on the right bar under "books quick links" you would see "purchased", click on it.
THESE ARE ALL THE BOOKS YOU HAVE BOUGHT. IF YOU SLIDE OVER EACH OF THEM YOU WOULD SEE A "X" SIGN ON TOP LEFT SIDE OF EACH COVER CLICK ON IT, BY DOING SO YOU WOULD DELETE THE BOOK FOREVER FROM ICLOUD IN YOUR APPLE ACCOUNT.
BY NOW IF YOU DELETE THE BOOK FROM YOUR IBOOKS APP IN YOUR MAC, IT WOULDN'T TELL YOU THAT IT WOULD BE STORED IN ICLOUD.
YOU'VE DELETED THE BOOK FROM YOUR MAC AND YOUR ICLOUD APPLE ACCOUNT. AND YOU WOULDN'T SEE IT ANYMORE.
YOUR DONE.
HAVE FUN.

HT5544 I have tried to delete Purcased Books from IBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. They have the cloud icon in the upper right hand corner of the book cover

I have tried to delete Purchased Books in iBooks on my IPad but they won't delete. The books show a cloud icon in the upper right corner. How can I delete them?

The cloud icon means that they are only in the cloud, they aren't currently stored on your iPad, so there isn't anything to delete. You can turn off the showing of the books that are in the cloud via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

If the device is synced with a computer and all content on the device also exists in the iTunes library on the computer as the device is designed to be used, nothing will be lost.

Free Books from iBooks store

Does anyone know how to search for free books other than searching for "free" which brings up a lot of books that aren't free along with the free ones. It has been well over a month since I have checked, but if I remember right there used to be a "free" link down at the bottom of the iBooks Store in the Quick Links category. Where did it go?

Yep. If you go to "browse" you can click on the top right where it says "Free books"
Or, in Chart, if you page through the paid books, you get to a list of the top selling free ones.
Here are two free novels to get you started.

How do i delete the cover of a deleted book from ibooks?

You're not short of memory, you're short of Hard Drive space so get an external drive and store your movies on it.

HT4059 See no free books on iBooks except old fiction. Why is this so. A matter of all kinds to be free. Please advise on how to use correctly.

See no free iBooks except old fiction. Why is this so. Please advise on how to find and use correctly.

What country are you in ? (This page shows what content types are available where.) Some countries currently only have free books, to be able to sell recent/current books in a particular country the publisher's need to grant Apple a license to do so. Have you got access to other ebook apps/stores in your country ?

How do I delete a book from iBooks which is already partially downloaded? It's from the iBooks store (free), but now frozen. It does not respond to "pause" or "delete" but will not continue to download either. Any suggestions? Thank you.

See Subject/Question.

Problem resolved. Once I downloaded another book, logging into Apple account, it started the new book downloading and the partially downloaded book (frozen), finally completed its download. Now I can use it or delete it as normal.

Accidentally deleted a book from ibooks on my desktop. how can i restore it?

is there any way to restore a deleted book bought on ibooks on my desktop. i can still see it on my ipad but not the desktop.

If you bought the book using iTunes, simply open the iTunes Store (in the iTunes application, there is no standalone iBooks app on Mac or Windows), click on 'Books' in the list of content areas, then click on 'Purchased' in the right hand column towards the bottom of the top section in the 'Books Quick Links'. You should then be able to see all the books you have purchased and redownload it by clicking the 'Download' button. You need to be signed into the iTunes Store with the Apple ID that you used to purchase the book.
If you bought the book using a different application, which application/store did you buy it from?

How do I delete a book from ibooks?

Had a book in a collection, I deleted the collection, and the book was greyed out. Tried to reload the book via sync ( 3-4 times ), but each time the reload process stalled out with the book only about 2/3rds downloaded. I now have a book on my ipad that is greyed out, so I can't read and I can't delete it either.
