For Kindle ebooks, your simplest solution is to install Kindle for Mac, download your books onto your Mac using that, and you can then import them into calibre. You'll probably also want to google for Apprentice Alf, as his blog has a calibre plugin you'll find useful.
For ebooks from the Apple iBooks store, you're got problems. First off, getting them off your iPad is difficult. You'll need something that can either browse the iPad when connected (e.g. iPhone Explorer) or the backup files (e.g. iPhone Backup Extractor). But you'll still have the problem that the books have DRM. Apprentice Alf has some info at his blog, but it's a lot more complicated than for Kindle ebooks.
For Google reader, see if you can get them downloaded to Adobe Digital Editions on your Mac. Then it's a simple process to get them into calibre.
