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.

Hi. I apologize that I did not clarify in my original post. I am running the latest version of Calibre (64-bit) and iTunes on Windows 7.
Yesterday, I managed to send some books through a content server. The problem with that is that the cover and metadata for the books didn't import as I had edited it in Calibre, so it became hard to identify some of those books in the iBooks app.
I then decided to save the books to my hard drive upon editing all of them in Calibre, with the hopes that the covers and metadata would be saved in the epub/pdf/etc. file. After saving these files, I transferred them to Dropbox, but upon opening them in iBooks, they still didn't have the covers and metadata saved.
Is there a way to save the metadata and covers of the books into the epub file itself? In my preferences for saving a file to the disk, here are the options as I've set them:
'Save cover separately' is unchecked
'Update metadata in saved copies' is checked
'Save metadata in OPF file' is unchecked
If I can manage to import the newly edited metadata and covers into iBooks through the content server or Dropbox, I would be fine with these methods, and the iTunes issue would no longer concern me.
