You don't have to load anything in iTunes. My actual iTunes library is very small. I keep most of my music and movies on their own drives. You just have to tell iTunes where they are and it keeps a file for you. This is one of the first things you learn when you have a huge collection. You use the Option key when you drag the file into iTunes. It doesn't copy the file, only location, you don't waste space. If ibook file works the same, you will be able to keep your library as you like it and have an iTunes shadow library. Yes you will have to hook up to you Mac or PC and select what files you want on your pad just like the iphone or an ipod. What is hard about that? So you will have to convert your collection into epub, big deal. This is nothing compared to converting a video library of DVDs into digital files or even loading CDs to your machine. Text files are a snap and Calibre is your friend.
