Misleading title. It’s not an unrecoverable delete. It’s moved into iCloud as you had specified.

You can even turn off iBooks from using iCloud in Settings.

If they do not have access to the Internet on their iPad while on their remote vacation, it is an unrecoverable delete, at least temporarily.

Your second suggestion seems like it is blaming the user. How does the user know this is the action Apple will take upon low disk space? Isn't the sane thing that downloads are left alone, whether or not cloud backup is turned on?

> it is an unrecoverable delete, at least temporarily.

That’s not really a precise phrase. It’s recoverable, but with a delayed outage (denial of service).
