I can use 3G for a lot quicker upload but I don't have a flat rate there, so again better to use home Wi-Fi.
I also have my ebooks and videos on Wi-Fi HDD (cheap 40$ Wi-Fi enclosure) so no need for PC or Wi-Fi router or internet/cloud or even much storage space on the tablets because I can wirelessly stream videos and big pdfs easily.
For those who would like a fast, quick to establish and easy USB PC-iPad transfer Goodreader app has got USB file transfer utility.
No need to start iTunes on PC or Goodreader on iPad, but just to start GoodreaderUSB utility on PC and connect iPad/iPhone and PC via USB.

Those who still don't know, for the last year or two there is yet another convenient way to easily share files between (non-jailbreaked) iDevice and PC/Mac/iOS/Android devices.

etc.
I've got myself this Chinese version, without any installed flash memory thereon, but with two slots for SD(HC) and micro SD(HC) cards and with connectors for both older and newer iPads (30 pin and lightning).
So, in our case one would need to upload epub onto iFlash memory stick (e.g. using PC USB connection), then connect iFlash stick to iDevice and after iOS app completely recognizes our iFlash memory stick (5 seconds or more) tapp on the epub title and choosing any of the offered apps e.g. iBooks to open the epub therein.

Transferring speed (at least using my old class 4 microSD cards) is not great (0.9-1.3 MB/s iPad/stick and up to 10/5 MB/s (reading/writing) PC/stick), but since we can watch videos and listen to the music directly without need for transferring the files to iPad app beforehand, it is not such a big problem.
