How to I permanently delete books from iBooks?

I have a couple books that show up in iBooks but aren't actually stored in iBooks. They have the little cloud icon at the top right. I am not interested in "hiding" these books. I want them permanently deleted from my account.

You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do (that should stop them showing in the cloud for redownloading).

How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
Hope this helps.

What do you mean? They do show in the Purchased items in iTunes. Click on the three little dots ... to the right of the last icon showing in the top left to get the list of other iTunes categories (like books). Click on Books, and then on Purchased:

HT5557 How do I permanently delete books from iCloud?

Trying to delete books from iBooks/iCloud. Help.

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with apps and iOS 7, after hiding them on my computer's iTunes I've been having to then log out of my account on my devices and then log back for them to be hidden on that device.
If ibooks that are only in the cloud are showing on the bookshelf in the iBooks app then you can turn that off via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

After hiding them on your computer you might need to log out and back into your account on your iPad for them to be hidden on it - with iOS 7 I've been needing to do that for Apps, not sure if it also applies to books

You can't, you can only hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
If you are using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then hiding is done in a similar way but via iBooks, not iTunes.

how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
Anyone at Apple listening?

Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...
