- Closed iTunes and removed the iPad
- Added the books to calibre, and installed them on my Sony.

My experience is that this only tends to work reliably for books that are already in iTunes (and thus already on ones PC). However there is never any harm in trying. I had assumed that since this question was being asked that the solution was not going to be that easy, but it is always easy to miss the obvious.
My suggestion of using iPhone backup Extractor can be useful for getting files out of iTunes backups that are otherwise not easily accessible. It has saved me a number of times when I have done a restore on my iPad and forgotten to first back up some important data outside iTunes.
