    Do you mean that they don't show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or that they show but don't download ?

     

    Have you tried logging out of your account (e.g. by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the store) and then logging back in, and/or tried a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
