How do I transfer books in ePub or PDF format from my PC to my iPad?

I have books on my PC that I have obtained from a variety of sources, mostly not Kindle or iTunes. How do I get them onto my iPad?

It worked! A bit convoluted, since I'm not fully up to speed on iTunes, but I managed to transfer and sync as you described.
I didn't realize that replying would take away my option to award points -- you should have had 10 points for this answer, sorry.
Thanks again.

  • How to convert mobi books to ePub format?

    Hello, I have a question for help here, I have a lot of .mobi books on my computer, I wanna transfer these mobi books to my iPhone and iPad for reading, but I found they doesn't accept mobi format, I tried many ways to convert mobi to ePub but failed, the quality of  the output ePub file is so bad, unable to read. pleae help! Is there any software can convert hundreds of .mobi files to ePub format with high quality? Don't give me calibre, it keep crashed in my windows 8, and the it is not easy to use, waste of my time.

    And, what did I say?  Asnlinkda asked how to convert a mobi book into an epub book (not how to convert an epub in a mobi). I said him that he should use some thid party app (that produces epub books) and if it's necessary, to polish the resulting book mobi to ePub converter. I also say that he could use mobi to ePub converter but that I prefer to use the first method. So, I say that is preferable to use (if it were necessary)
    The way I go from Mobi > ePub is to use Vibosoft ePub creator or iStonsoft mobi to epub converter to convert, use Modify ePub to put in the cover and then use Sigil to rename the files and clean up the code/CSS. I find that's the easiest way to do it.

  • How do I transfer books from blue fire to ibooks on my ipad?

    How do I transfer books from blue fire to iBooks on my ipad?

    If they are albums that you've synced from your computer then they are removed by re-connecting to your computer's iTunes, de-selecting them on the Photos tab, and re-syncing - albums and photos that you've synced can't be deleted (and albums can't be merged) directly on the iPad.
    If they are albums that you've created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete them on the iPad via the Edit button at the top left of the album selection screen. You can also copy more photos into (via the Edit button when within an album), and delete photos from, those albums.

    Are you using OSX 10.9 or 10.8? If you are using 10.9 as a beta tester you should not be posting here but in the Apple Seed forums.
    iBooks will be part the new 10.9 but is not part of the OSX system currently.

  • How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad?

    How do I transfer data files (word, Quickbooks, pdf, etc.) to the ipad for safe store and possible reading and manipulation of some key files (word and Pdf)?

    You first need an app, or apps, that are capable of reading/storing, and possibly editting them - without the app(s) there is nowhere to copy them to. As to how you then get the files onto the iPad depends upon the app(s) that you are using : iBooks (free app which can store/read PDFs) is via iTunes and the Books section of your computer's iTunes library. Other apps can use the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab on your computer's iTunes, some apps have wifi capability so that you can copy to/from them via your wifi network, and you may also be able to transfer email attachments into the app.

    Your .wma (proprietary to Windows format) will not play or convert in iTunes Mac so convert them in iTunes Windows to .mp3 before moving your library. There are other converters on the Internet - do a search.

  • HT1296 how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

    Hello
    how do I transfer a PDF document from my laptop to my Ipad?

    To copy PDFs to the iPad you first need an app on the iPad that supports PDFs - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the PDF to your chosen app will depend upon what the app that you have/get supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    For PDFs there are free apps such as Apple's iBooks app (syncing PDFs to iBooks) and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader.

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC
