For the most part, the replies to your questions were about downloading books from calibre to your iPad using calibre's content server on your computer and Safari or other web browser to connect to the content server from your iPad.
If your books are already on the iPad in the Kindle app, you can't transfer them to iBooks since iBooks does not read Amazon's proprietary formats. This still leaves the question of what you are trying to do? Transfer your Amazon books from your iPad to calibre? That is not going to work since your iPad will not allow that action. You could install Kindle for PC or Kindle for Mac on your computer (assuming it's operating system is Windows or OSX), download the books to your PC and then transfer them to calibre. See the
Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 and KFX in calibre thread for some help on that process. You will also need the DeDRM plugin so check
Apprentice Alf’s Blog for help with that plugin.
As an alternative, you could use calibre to email to your iPad's Kindle email address. Google is helpful there.
