Why are my non iBooks books not syncing between my devices?

I have some books that I bought (not from iBooks) and have them stored in iBooks on my iPad 2. I no longer have an iPod touch, but when I did with ios 5, everything synced, including my PDFs, between my iPad and itouch. I now have an iPhone with ios6 and only books purchased from iBooks are syncing between my devices.

Note: my iPad also has the latest ios 6. All syncing options are enabled in iBooks on both devices.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1, 32G

On all your devices, go into settings > iCloud and make sure the same "Account" is being used (same appleID).

Than go into Settings > iCloud and make sure documents and data is turned on all of your devices.

If the above is accurate, simply (apple) toggling off/on documents and data on each device can possibly fix the issue.

All of that was already done. I restarted both devices, logged in and of iCloud on both devices, still nothing.

Pdf's etc in iBooks have never synced between devices, you'll need to sync them to iTunes then sync them to the other device.
