I have an iPad 1 and a PC.
I want to back up all the books that are on my iPad.

ITunes tells me I have 1736 items under the book heading yet when I go to My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Books there are only about 150 books backed up.
The other 1600 odd books do not apear to be on my computer as iTunes backups.

When I go to the Books heading in iPhone and tick the box to sync all books I get a frightening warning about all other files will be deleted.

Calibre tells me it has 410 books in its Library.

My books are mostly not purchased from iStore.
Most of them are epubs and pdfs. Some are Kindle which have purchased from Amazon or sideloaded. Many are work PDFs.

My question: is there a simple and certain way in which to backup to my computer all my iPad books?

UPDATE
See my solution at #13 below
