Why can't I hide or delete books on the Books app on my iPhone?

I uploaded some free books to read on the app and after a couple chapters wasn't interested in them. I tried to delete them and they didn't go away. I tried to hide them and they still wouldn't go away. Now when I click "edit" it greys out the delete and hide options completely. I'm aggravated because I can't get rid of them no matter what I've tried.

Because Apple doesn't want you to get rid of them. It is really that simple.
