I have a first generation ipad. I don't really use it for much EXCEPT ibooks. I just updated my computer to yosemite, successfully added some books to ibooks on my mac, and plugged in my ipad to sync them over. However in iTunes the new books don't even show up as a option to sync! What should I do? Is the ipad 1 just COMPLETELY obsolete? I can't even read on it??

It works fine for me. In iTunes (12) have you selected the iPad icon, and in the Sidebar selected Books under Settings (not Books under On My Device)
I did that, but all my books aren't even showing up in iTunes to be synced. I've added some since I updated to yosemite and none of the new ones are visible in itunes.
The books have definitely downloaded to iBooks?
Here is a screenshot. The first red arrow is the iPad selected. The second arrow is Books selected under Settings in the Sidebar.
Yes. That is what I've done. You can see that I want all of my books synced AND I have them sorted by date added.
But if you look at iBooks and sort it the same way, you can see that there are a ton more books here than are showing up in iTunes.
You could try a reset i.e. hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
If that doesn't help back up your iPad and Erase All Content and Settings: iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'
