A simple drag and drop method from computer to iTunes works very well.

it's not that android is easier, it just allows a bit more of a convenience. i no 3rd party (or any program) is needed to transfer books to the android device. this is if you already have a collections of epub or what ever format. no need to open itunes, no need for a calibre server... just drag and drop from any computer any os (almost any).
i prefer android over ios b/c of the tweakablity, but i choose to use which ever offers the best bang for my buck, there's no such thing as brand loyalty for me. i considered getting a 2nd refurb ipad at $350 but found that my archos 101 fits the use i had intended for the 2nd ipad a lot better (multimedia/carputer- archos 101 has a worse screen and crappy build quality, but plays everything fine - i've not yet found an app that'll play my 720p mkv's with ac3 with out stuttering on the ipad). and again, transferring movies with just drag and drop from any computer (i won't do it via wifi - i don't have the patience).
ipad is great but it's reliance on itunes is a pain.
