I don't know why this does not seem to be straightforward and I have to ask every time I want o add a PDF book to iBooks.
I've spent the last hours trying to figure it out, so I'm back here asking again. Even a search on this subject did not turn up anything.
Please help...
TIA,

I see. I guess I was thinking that you could drag and drop files into iBooks like you can with some other apps. Now I see that email is the way to transfer PDF's. Thank You.
You're welcome. Double checking the iPad User Guide you can also sync PDF's from your computer. Since I don't have a computer I use the first method I mentioned.
Excellent to hear that syncing from the computer can be done. That is what I was looking for. I will see if I can find a User Manual for the iPad (long misplaced mine by now) online and discover how this is done. Thanks Again.
You're welcome. Here's the one I use.
iPad User Guide for iOS 8.4 by Apple Inc.
This is wonderful, I appreciate the link bobseufert, but, as I have discovered before, the text in this manual for "Sync a PDF" reads as if you know how to "add the PDF to iBooks for OS X" which means nothing to me because I don't know how to add a PDF to iBooks for OS X.
Writers should remember the basic questions that readers need to have answered "Who, Why, What, Where, How and When" are the cornerstone of good instructional writing. I wish the writers were more in tune with readers who are trying to learn the basics. If you don't know how to add a PDF to iBooks so I am out of luck and cannot make it to first base with this.
For the reason I named above, We would all be in a terrible a fix if it were not for these user to user forums and we only had product literature from the manufacturer to rely upon. I'm a real fan of these forums.
How do you add PDF books to iBooks on the iPad?
