Transfer eBooks from Computer to iPad iPhone with iTunes
iTunes is the native transfer tool for Apple products that you can use it to transfer photos from PC to iPhone iPad, explore iPhone iPad files, sync MP3 songs to iPhone iPad, etc at will. And it is also a good choice to transfer books to iPad or iPhone via iTunes.
Step 1. Import Your eBooks into iTunes
When you launch your iTunes, you can either click "File" in the menu bar to choose "Add File to Library…", or just drag the epub, PDF ebooks or audiobooks from computer to iTunes window. Then you will see the eBooks you choose displayed in iTunes.
Step 2. Connect iPad to Computer
Connect your iPad iPhone to computer with original Apple USB cable to prevent computer not recognize iPad iPhone. If this is your first time to match iPad and computer, please tap Trust This Computer to continue.
Step 3. Transfer Books to iPad
Select your iPad on the left side under the devices heading. In iTunes 11, please go to View > Show Sidebar in order to see the sidebar. Then select the ebooks to sync in the books tab of the iTunes window on the right. The ebooks will appear in iBooks - assuming that you have installed it on the iPad.
Notice: iTunes is indeed your first choice to sync eBooks to iPad if you are Apple fans, but I have to mention that iTunes only sync DRM-free or Apple DRM books, meaning that all the books with DRM purchased outside of the iBookstore won't be transferred by iTunes and accepted by iPad iPhone. You have to remove DRM for successful transferring via iTunes and reading on iPad iPhone. Worse still, all the eBooks stored previously on your iPad iPhone will be removed after you add new books to iPad iPhone.
Obviously, using iTunes to transfer books to iPad iPhone is much more complicated than via DearMob iPhone Manager. Why not try this best iTunes alternative once? And its mate DearMob iPhone Manager will come with support 13 types of iOS data transfer including books, videos, music, photos, contacts, voice memos, etc, so that you will have much easier access to iPhone file transfer than ever before.
