Bought the wife a new iPad mini and I inherited the older iPad 1st generation. I would like to use it to store and read a lot of my pdf's. How do I get them into the iPad and how do I view and read the pdf's? I think the IOS 5 is far as I can go on updating... I think. Thanks for any help.

You are correct about the max iOS 5.1.1 on the iPad 1.
Cheers, Tom 😉
I think my problem is that my iTunes does not have "Books" under the Library. It has music, tones, etc, but no "Books". The sites you listed did a good job of telling me what to do except I did not have "Books" in my iTunes. Why? I do not know. On my iPad apps I do have "iBooks", but can not update it becasue of it being a 1st generation iPad. What is strange to me is that I have "IBooks" app but it does not show up under my library in iTunes. If it did, I could add to my library the pdf's under "Books". But it is not there.
Any other suggestions or help?
Thanks for trying Tom,

I downloaded the app Goodreader and it worked like a champ. Thanks so much for all the help!

Get an App like Goodreader which will run on iOS 5 and hadles PDF files quite well.
