Can't remove a book from iBooks

Actually it's not difficult. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.


Please help. I can't see the option "delete from all devices", I have synced collections, etc., but no, nothing, nada, can't delete a single book from iBooks. Why they don't want this to happen?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

You are referring to the iBooks app on your iOS device, correct? When you open the Library and see the Books on the shelf, are you indicating that you cannot tap on the "Select" button in the top right-hand corner? Once you do that, you can then tap on the book you want to delete, and a red Delete option will show in the upper left-hand corner next to Move.


Cheers,

Best bet is to access your account from a computer, not a tablet or phone, and hide the purchase like you would a movie or a song. Unfortunately, this only works some of the time. I have one book that stays in my library regardless of what I do, but for most books this seems to work.
