Help...Please !

A friend asked me to put a collection of epubs on an iPad (about 50 or so) and I agreed. I have been using Calibre to convert but not to install on another. Spent about 2 hours one day with no luck...the extra device icons never showed up ...found I was using x86 version instead of X64. Fast forward a month and trying again (another 2 hours) the extra device icon showed up (at least the one called "send to device"" did)not sure about the "device" icon". I tried a shift from top to bottom (blued them out) and then used the "send to device" icon...the wheel spun from 2 to 0 when there were 50 selected when finished I believe it showed a check for all in the main column...thought I did something wrong so I tried again and now I ended up with a check 2 in the main column...(found there were duplicate copies of all the books in the "Calibre Library" in a folder "books")... fast forward a couple of weeks and watched the intro film on the main Calibre page I changed the device from generic to apple and when connected I hope when the person returns the "device" icon shows up and I can drag the books from the "library" to "device" as shown in the demo...Fingers crossed... if that works what is the "send to device" icon used for and why when used did it install into the Calibre Library" ???
I know I'm long winded so ...Many thanks for reading
