The greatest frustration is that it does not seem to be possible to control the ordering shown in the iBooks bookshelf from the Calibre end! All new books always appear at the top. However I suspect that is an iBooks issue rather than a Calibre one. IBooks could do with some more ordering options such as support for ordering by author or tags, or folder support. I guess these could come in a future release. I sometimes use Stanza instead on the iPad simply because then I can do over-the-air downloading either via the Calibre Content server or via my calibre2opds generated catalog.

I only use the list view, so the ordering doesn't bother me at all. You can order by author, title or tags, in the list view. If not for that I couldn't use it at all! A big hassle is some books have tags hard-coded into the epubs, so I have to remove that info via Sigil, but at least you only have to do it once. I agree that folders would be superb.
I would use Stanza if I could get calibre to send to it directly, like it does to iBooks. I love how I can change the brightness on the fly.
I did follow all the directions in the calibre + ipad thread. I've started opening calibre only via the command line, so I can have the debug file handy.
