MacOS – n easy way in Mavericks to share a PDF file directly from Safari into iBooks

booksmacospdfpreviewsafari

Safari loads and displays .PDF files nicely. iBooks is Apple's PDF reader app for sync'd and offline access. To move files currently, I have to:

  1. right-click in Safari to open the PDF in Preview;
  2. use Preview File menu to Move PDF file to Desktop (or anywhere more accessible than Preview's private store);
  3. Open iBooks and drag the PDF file into iBooks.

Not hard, but a bit cumbersome for something I want to do fairly often. I could probably set up something with Automator / AppleScript, but is there an easier way given a factory install? Am I missing something obvious?
