I have the same problem. My downloaded files from Kindle store into MacBook are .azw file name extension and cannot transfer these to iPad. Although I changed the extension name to .epub or .txt or .azm, I cannot transfer either. Are there ant solutions?

Downloaded the Kindle app to my Macbook, added the books to my Kindle library and it works fine.
I know this is a bit after the event and you may have a solution, but I just came across this when I was trying to figure out the same sort of thing - kindle-formatted ebooks (legal!) that I had on my PC.
It works via Dropbox. What you do is copy the files from your Kindle content folder on your PC to the Dropbox folder there and then open Dropbox on your iPad. You then try to open each file in Dropbox and will be told it can't open it, but in the top right, there's the icon for Open With and you'll find the Kindle app shown when you select it. Open in Kindle, the file will be sync'd to your Kindle library and you can then delete it from your Dropbox folder.
It will then exist separately on the iPad and your PC, so bookmarks, etc., won't be syn'd between them, but it will at least be readable.
On iPad go to Amazon store, Manage Your Kindle = your Kindle library where you can download all your purchases.
