    On my iPad I was having the problem of books in the cloud appearing multiple times on my bookshelf, so I turned Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off' so that the bookshelf only shows downloaded books - the duplicates no longer appear on my bookshelf (you can see your purchases that are in the cloud and re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app).

     

    You should be able to delete downloaded/synced books from the device via the Edit button at the top of the bookshelf. You can't currently permanently delete items from your purchase history but you should be able to hide them from the Purchased tab in the store via your computer's iTunes (and directly on your device if it's not on iOS 6)
