I'd have to imagine the rules for iPad are similar to those for any other device... the publisher sets the number of devices a book can be on. Some of the free old books seem to have no limit, but if, for instance, you were buying a book for the Kindle app on the mac, it's subject to the same limits as on any other device -- 6 [default; some are different] devices (of whatever type) total at a time. I haven't looked into this particular issue on other devices (Nook, iBook, etc.) because we went down the Kindle path before I got to this question. So I don't know what, for instance, rules are for books loaded onto iBook. Still am thinking the publishers would set similar rules over all devices. (when you say loading books onto iPad, do you mean iBook per se? I didn't play much with that because we weren't going to buy iPads, too expensive, but what little I did with it was a real pain...)
