Thanks,

Just email or copy the ePub to her computer.
Drag the ePub file into iTunes, approximately where it says "Books" in the left hand column/sidebar.
Connect the iPad to the computer.
Click on the iPad icon in that same left hand column/sidebar.
Select the tab marked Books.
Your book should be there-just click the checkmark next to it, and Sync the iPad.

(If she has the setting to automatically sync all books in the library, your book will just show up on the iPad when she connects it to the computer)
