I transfer all books via the drag and drop method, or "Add", under Apps on the device itself, when a device is connected... and have not ever had a circle/bar... I can even drag and drop files I know to be incompatible with a particular application and still cant get the circle/bar.

I see from your later posts that you can now drag and drop, but I'd still like to know what the clicking on file in itunes is for??

Thanks, Kyteflyer, but that quote was from a discussion of alternate ways of transferring ebooks to the iPad - it had nothing to do with dragging and dropping.

And yes, I can now drag and drop from whatever folder my ebooks are in to the list of books that iTunes show - but only if I open iTunes first and then attach the iPad to the computer with the USB cord.

I have tried the standard method of attaching the iPad to the computer and letting iTunes open itself, and have waited until it synchronised before I try to drag and drop. But I still get the barred circle. It doesn't make any sense at all.
