Is there a way to sideload my epubs to my ipad without using itunes or dropbox? I have a couple thousand and either method would be very cumbersome. Ideally I would just like to drag them to the ipad storage space while the ipad was connected to my computer.

If you use calibre, they can be sent to Marvin, and it will probably be a lot faster than doing an iTunes sync.

I uploaded 955 books to my device in a couple minutes. Keep in mind, you still have to do all the book sorting on the device, so it might behoove you to upload in batches of books so you don't get your books overloaded in the Book category. I did my upload by series, creating the collection in iBooks, then uploading the corresponding books, moving them to collection. Just rinse and repeat. |

I have never used the Books tab (I think it is designed for books obtained from iTunes Store) Instead, once I have clicked on the iPad button (not eject) and I am looking at the iPad page, a new set of buttons appear on the ribbon and I click on 'On this iPad'. This brings up a list of Music Films TV Programmes and Books. I click on Books and I can then sideload them straight into there. Once loaded they seem to copy themselves over (given a little time) without syncing. Hope this helps |

If you use Calibre, the "iOS Reader Applications" plug-in makes it very easy indeed to manage books on an iDevice, in both ePub and Mobi formats. I use it with the Kindle Application on my iPad and it works beautifully. It supports iBooks.

I use this plug in with Marvin, as Harry says it works beautifully. I even have it set so my bookshelves on Calibre become collections in Marvin.

I had an interesting situation yesterday where I wanted to see how a book presented in a number of different apps on my iPad3, (was downloading from dropbox) and iBooks (which was presented as one of the options) simply refused to open a book that none of the others had issues with: it opened to the title page then crashed back to the bookshelf. Wonder what thats about.
