My problem is that upon connecting Calibre to iTunes, when selecting a book to 'Send to Device', the option which says 'Send to Main Memory' is grayed-out, meaning that I cannot select it. This means that I have no way to send my books to iTunes through Calibre.

Ultimately, my goal is to transfer the books from Calibre to my iPad; iTunes is simply a middleman to this end. Is there any way to fix the problem I've stated, and if not, is there a different method to transfer my books from Calibre to iPad?
I'm assuming that you're running OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). Apple's changes to the way that books are managed under Mavericks broke calibre's ability to communicate with your iPad. You can read more about it in the OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) + iBooks sticky in this forum.

If you want to use calibre to manage books on your iPad, I would suggest trying Marvin and GoodReader with the iOS reader applications plugin as described in that sticky.

If you want to use iBooks on your iPad, some users have reported that it is possible to drag books from calibre to iBooks on the Mac, then sync your iDevice.
