epub books will not open on iPad or iPhone

I have a number of epub books which were purchased from sites other than the iBook Store. I can view these perfectly and sort them into collections on my iMac but these books will not sync to the iPad and/or iPhone version of iBook.

Strangely new collections category do synchronise but the only epub books that appear are the ones purchased through Apple.

Can anyone help?

iBook, iOS 8.4.1

same problem here.. I can't sync my books from my mac to my Ipad mini.

i had them all before IOS 8.4.1 upgrade... but now.. they are just gone..

it shows there may be some sync in progress and I can see them transferring but then they just disappear and they are not anywhere on my ipad.

the only way around is uploading the book i want into my droppbox account and then open it from the app and select view with IBOOK.. that seems to work for now...

but it is very annoying..:(
