But, I have iTunes manage my content, which means anything I add to the iPad automatically sends a copy of that to the iTunes library (and, gets backed up properly).

Also, I'm only talking about books *in* the iBooks app. The other reading apps have their own storage systems.
The OP stated that it was his issue over NON iBook files that prompted his question.

See message #9 in this thread.

"I am used to a PC where all these things are in identifiable folders and backup just consists of copying the folder.
Apple seems to be different.
Apparently when I do an Apple "backup" it only backs up iBookstore purchases.
This does not help me.

Can anyone help with the Apple file structure for iBooks and Kindle.
The books are on the iPade so there must be some sort of file structure that I can identify on the iPad and backup."
