If you want to delete them from the iBooks app on your iPad then you should be able to do so via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf. If you mean bboks that are only in the cloud and have the symbol on them on the bookshelf then turning Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off' should stop those books from showing (as long as they remain in the store then you can still download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app).


If you want to hide them the Purchased tab in the ibookstore (you can't permantly delete any items from your purchase history), then you can do so via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - you might then need to log out of your account on iPad and log back for them to be hidden in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore (I need to log out and back in for apps that I hide).
