Pdfs are fine also but I haven't a clue how to work that either for plain, simple books. I've read the ipod manual but either I'm brain dumb or something because it isn't happening. What is so maddening is that I can keep 4 PCs up and running but an IPad has me down for the count.

You have several choices for getting ebooks to your iPad. One is via iTunes and iBooks. Using this method, you will install the iBooks app and then can use the connect/share icon on the Calibre tool bar and select "connect to iTunes". It will take several minutes, but this will open iTunes and put a new icon on your Calibre Tool bar for iTunes. Then all you need to do is choose the books in Calibre that you want to put in iTunes and click on the "Send to Device" icon. This will put the books into iTunes. Now plug in your iPad, and sync just the books.
Once you're done, when you open iBooks your books should appear.
Another method is via the BlueFire Reader app. The nice thing about this app is that it mates up with Adobe Digital Editions and can use drm'd library ebooks. After you install Bluefire Reader, the first time you open it on your iPad, it will give you the option of authorizing it to your copy of ADE on your computer. Having done that, follow the instruction for transferring ebooks to BlueFire Reader on your iPad. You will find more information about using BlueFire Reader on this site.
