So have I...but it doesn't work the same was as with every other device Calibre supports. You need to go through iTunes, and possibly deal with extra copies of the file, depending on how you manage your library.

Through iTunes? I have no recollection of this. Calibre just dropped the ebooks into iBooks. They ultimately synced into iTunes after they were on the iPad.

It's the other way around, unless something major changed about putting data on an iPad that I haven't heard about.. From Calibre's point of view, iTunes IS the device, not the iPad, because only iTunes can put books on an iPad or iPod. Calibre puts the books in your iTunes library, and iTunes then syncs them with the device.
