It's not only PDFs. it's anything not purchased at Apple's bookstore, unless somehow you were syncing your books through the iTunes app.


I was able to take backups of all application data on my iPad before I upgraded iOS, so I have the ability to restore ALL of my books whenever I want. And as soon as I open the iBooks app, iBooks DELETES EVERYTHING THAT WASN'T PURCHASED AT THE BOOKSTORE. Again and again, deliberately.


I'm very angry. This is not a matter of "lost books", it is a matter of purposeful deletion.
