Connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs in the iPad's iBooks app, not just ibooks from the iBookstore : About iBooks - Apple Support


Please note, these ePub and PDF files will only transfer once. After that, you must download them directly from the website to your computer.


And then in the iBooks app on your Mac do File > Move Books From iTunes (or it not using an up-to-date Mac they will be in the Books part of your Mac's iTunes library).
