Confused by this comment...

“One of the most frustrating facets of iBooks for us is its insistence on segregating epubs and PDFs when organizing one’s library.”

I have a bunch of PDFs and ebooks—and can group them into whatever categories I choose. The ebooks and PDFs are displayed together!

Now, the frustrating thing to me is that iBooks leaves all the PDFs in the PDF list even AFTER you have put them in a category. That’s the issue. You have no way of telling which ones have been categorized. In contrast, under Books, after you put an ebook in a category, it no longer appears under Books. PDFs should work the same way!

But they definitely can be moved into a category with epubs and other ebooks! I do it all the time. You are not forced to keep them separate!!
