So again I created a new epub direct from Indesign, named it V1 and transferred it to my iPad and it did display in iBooks. I then took that exact same epub, copied it, renamed it V2 and transferred it to my iPad and it didn't display in iBooks. I repeated the experiment a couple of times and got the same results.
I then renamed a copy of a commercial epub which I previously transferred to ibooks. I've got and transferred it but that didn't show either in iBooks.
Bear in mind I don't know anything about zips/epubs but I now doubt the zipping is the problem. Is it possible that each epub has a unique identifier in it somewhere, and iBooks won't display duplicates?! And if there is, where would it be, and is there a 'safe' way to change it?
I'm using the latest version of the iOS software which is 4.34

That is very strange. Maying a copy should be identical. There is a unique number inside and Apple also adds a special file inside. I could kind of understand that if you already had the book they would fail to show a second copy but there should certainly be a way to replace a bad copy with a new one. If you remove the original will the copy show up? I will be getting my iPad at some point but for now I can only guess.
