I save my books in epub with 'save to disk' in folders generated from the tags to my main hard drive.

I have an App called "FileBrowser" in my iPad, and connect to my computer from it. Then I can copy the folders to the storage managed by it over wifi.

I can do searches by keyword in title and author, and browse the folders. I can sync the files between the App and my hard drive. (Making sure I can only copy from the App, and not overwrite the original.)

And when I click on an epub the app brings up the various apps that can open the file, and I can then load the file into the various epub readers.

You might want to see if that would work for PDF files, or other formats. The FileBrowser handles all kinds of formats, and I think as long as you had an app on your ipad that would open it, FileBrowser would send it there for you.

It's not the kind of management Calibre has, but for me, I've found that if I've titled and filed them correctly, it's not hard to find what I'm looking to open.
