Ok, I did it  I had to click on Books at the top list of the sidebar, then drag the bbook into iTunes The list of all the booKs, then close iTunes, then restart iTunes and the book showed up and then synched. That sync only took a few seconds. There's got to be an easier way. |
Sorry, I apparently misunderstood what you were asking. Well, they have changed how this works on a Mac, not sure about Windows. The way it used to work on both Mac and Windows was that you went to the
Books tab in iTunes, selected
File --> Add To Library, selected the books you wanted to sideload, then clicked
Open. (These are the Mac instructions, Windows was similar). I don't know if this still works in Windows.
On the Mac running Mavericks (latest Mac OS X), we now have an iBooks app. You have to use the iBooks app to add/sideload books to iBooks. So open iBooks, then select
File --> Add To Library, select the books you want to sideload, then click
Open. The books are now in iBooks and also listed in the
Books tab of iTunes. So go back to iTunes and use it to sync the books. Whew, that was convoluted!
ETA: And this is one of many reasons I don't use iBooks!
