3 Gig over a wireless taking 50 minutes isn't something I'd call unusual. Yes, you can connect via the USB: go to iTunes, select your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and scroll down the page. Down below the list of Apps, you'll find another list of apps that you can transfer files to and from. Goodreader should be listed there. Select it, and you'll see the root document directory of Goodreader. You can block-select all your PDFs and drop them here. That will go quite a bit faster than your wireless. The downside to this method is that you cannot transfer folders or create folders via this iTunes method: you'll be transferring everything into the root doc structure of Goodreader. If you want things organized in folders, you have to do it through wireless. You can create the folders directly in Goodreader and then move the files into the folders after they're transferred via USB, but it's a bit of a time-consuming process that way, so I don't know that ultimately you'd save any time doing it in this two-step process (that's assuming, of course, that you want all these files organized into folders; if you don't care about that, then by all means, use iTunes rather than wireless).
