I have a ton of books for iBooks and have most of them backed up on a flash drive. I know there is a thing that connects to the iPad to upload pics through a USB. Does anyone know if that will work with books also? I've been uploading some of my files through dropbox, but sometimes I'm not in a wifi area.

TIA!

Kat, You might want to check out the YouTube video here. It states that the camera connection kit will not work for files other than pictures or videos.

However here is an article that says the port can be used for other things. "... Now comes the part we really enjoy about the USB connector, the fact that you can use the USB connector to connect various USB devices you have laying around. Keep in mind that Apple does not support this experiment, although it has been done and well documented on You Tube and various iPad related sites on the web ... "

And you might want to check this out.

And you could always use an AirStash.
