So far, I've read through a bunch of other Q & A's and have gotten iTunes downloaded onto my PC. I have several books in pdf format on a cd that I would like to upload to my iPad. I can't seem to get them into iTunes so I can put them on my iPad. Could someone please help me with this? I really don't want to buy the books again. :(
Thanks!
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
OK, I downloaded iBooks onto my PC and it did show up on the left-hand side 'inside' Apps under the heading 'Library' within iTunes; however, I'm not seeing anything remotely related to file sharing. I'm affraid I'm lost again.
Open itunes. On the top left is an option for 'books'. Drag your PDF files from wherever they are into that window.
You can also open iTunes and under 'file' choose 'add to library'. Navigate to the PDF files and choose them and let iTunes process them.
Then with your device selected in iTunes. open the books tab on the top and you should see your pdf's there. Choose which ones you want on the device and sync.

This solved my problem too. Thank you! iTunes wasn't letting me drag and drop the PDF like it used to, but invoking Add to library from the File menu did the trick. Thank you, Skydiver119!
Go into the app store and download iBooks. It's a free app. Install it then under the 'app' tab in iTunes you'll see the file sharing options. You can then import the PDF file into iBooks. (You'll probably need to get those files off the CD and onto your comptuer harddrive before you do this)
Thanks! I'll do that, though I may have more Q's later. :)
Now you have to sync your iPad with iTunes to copy iBooks to your device.
Yea! You totally rock, dude!
Thank you for being patient with me. :)
You're welcome. enjoy the books
Holy Cow - this is the right answer to what is otherwise the biggest mystery about the iPad. Skydiver119 For President! Thanks fot giving an answer other than RTFM and other misleading directions that never help anyone.
You're welcome 🙂
