With your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad. This will copy all iTunes content on your iPad that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store.


If you want to have the iBooks only, you can re-download the books only with iTunes on the new or different computer.
