In the recommended method of using iTunes as an intermediary, then it is not a requirement to have calibre recognize the iPad.
The basic process is:
- Add the books you want to Calibre
- Start iTunes and (if this is the first time) check it is set as specified in the sticky at the top of this forum area
- Use the Connect to itunes option in Calibre. On completion calibre will inidcate at the bottom of the screen it is connected to iTunes and an onDevice column will appear to show which books in your Calibre library are in iTunes.
- Use Send to Device to transfer the books to iTunes.
- When the jobs icon at the bottom right of Calibre goes back to 0 (indicating the books are all transfered to iTunes, you can use the "Eject" option in Calibre to cut the connection to iTunes.
- Now the next time that you connect your iPad to iTunes and run a sync the books will be transferred to the iPad and become visible in iBooks.
The process in reality is easier than the above list makes it sound.
