Try this. Open calibre and connect your iPad to your computer. You will see the iPad device icon appear in the calibre toolbar. Click on it and you should see your books listed. Select a book and right-click on it. In the pop-up menu select Add Books to Library. This will copy the selected book from the device to your library. You can select multiple books and then use this method to copy them all at once.
Once they are in calibre, you can use the edit metadata button to bring up the metadata window and add tags to the books. I have a Sony Reader that supports collections. When I copy books to my device the tags are used to create collection names and place the books in them. I suspect that the iPad ereader software will do the same.
Let us know how it goes!
