why do pdf's imported into ibooks open in adobe reader?

I imported a PDF file into iBooks, expecting it to behave as the other books in there.

However, when I go to open the book, it is opened in adobe acrobat instead - why is that? I don't see anything in the preferences?

If importing a PDF into iBooks doesn't add the iBooks experience for bookmarks, highlights, etc., what is the purpose? Is it just for organization? That would seem rather less than interesting.

Thanks,
