For iBooks you can use the Calibre built-in support for iBooks via iTunes. I find this much easier than using drag-and-drop. In addition that method allows all basic Calibre functionality to be used just like with any other eReader device.

Unfortunately iTunes does not have easy to access support for any other eReader type software. If I want to use a different ebook reader on an iOS device, then I use the browser to pull down books on demand from a web server. I normally use the iOS QuickReader app in conjunction with a Calibre2Opds generated catalog resident on my NAS, but it also works well with the Calibre Content server.
