Q: Books Lost after iOS5 upgrade

Wondered if someone could help me out here.. I had a book I had purchased through iBooks that I don't have on my Iphone anymore after the upgrade.. I checked and made sure that it was using the correct apple ID that I had used to purchase it, I have the book on my ipad using the same apple ID, but when I go to purchased, it says I have nothing that I have purchased to download.

I am confused since It's on my IPAD, but using the same apple ID It does not show up on my iphone or even to download.. I even clicked on my apple ID within ibooks and logged into my account to make sure nothing was goofy there..

Thoughts???

iPhone 4, iOS 5

If you lost the books, and can't find them again, you can redownload them again at no cost from the bookstore.

After the last update, I could not sync every book from iBooks to my iPad.
They were in iBooks, but would not appear in iTunes.
I made sure I had them on my Mac.
I deleted them from iBooks.
I made sure that the books were in a location that could be seen by iBooks. In my case I moved them into a folder in Documents.
I dragged them to iBooks.
They now appear in iTunes, and sync to my iPad.

;-D Whew.
