Can't you use Dropbox, or even http transfer with an app like good reader?

It is much easier than uploading books to dropbox and then downloading into your iPad.
You could also run a localhost server and navigate to your book folder in the web browser. Also a pain.
The one built into calibre works too, but bizarrely, not everyone uses calibre and anyway, it's still annoying to have to download your books through the web browser just to transfer it to a device 2 feet away.

This discussion is about finding a device that doesn't make it a godawful pain to put your own books on it, hence the sideloading.
