This is how I back up my books. I do not have it set to auto synch ever. So I plug in, drag the books from my ipad to itunes, instead of the other way around, and hope it works.
Hopefully an expert will swing by and tell us the correct way to do it.

"Sync" in iTunes does NOT (normally) go two ways. If you have manual sync set up then your iPod/iPhone will be modified to match your iTunes library. I expect this is how it works with the iPad also.
However, it looks from reading the docs that this works a bit differently with iBooks.. from the Apple iBooks FAQ:

Yes, any books you've downloaded from the iBookstore will be automatically added to your iTunes library the next time you sync your device with your computer. To do this, your computer must be authorized with the same account that was used to download the books from the iBookstore.

Also... they say:

Yes, you can redownload any book from the iBookstore, as many times as you need, free of charge. To redownload a book, tap Store, then tap Purchases. Find the book you wish to download again and tap Redownload.

...which from what I understand isn't the case for music, movies and TV shows, a policy I think is nuts.
