Hi there,

Can I download books from other websites?

Yes, you can download ePub and PDF files on your Mac or PC. Add them to your iTunes library choosing File > Add to Library, or drag the ePub or PDF file to the Books library on your computer. To read these books, simply sync them to your device in the supported formats.

your method requiers you to be on the computer that your ipad is synced up with.

On a PC, you can drag epubs onto any ipad (via the side bar)

But i can't seem to do it on a mac. WHY.

I'm on vacation and only have my laptop with me, which is not the computer my ipad is synced up with.

With itunes 11 there is no book category on the left hand side. I've tried just dragging from their containing folder and that doesn't work. I have a first generation iPad with a Macbook Air with OS X on it so the iBooks app came with that OS. Is there still a way I can transfer those .epub files through iTunes to my iPad?

plug your ipad in, and you should be able to drag the epub file to your ipad via the side bar.

just make sure under preferences, you have the 'books' box ticked under 'show'

I have never had any luck syncing with a computer other than the one that always syncs.  For epub books, you could always drop them into dropbox and ope the dropbox app on your iPad.  When you find the file, there should be an "open in" option which will allow you to open in iBooks.

Not the best, but it is a workaround.

you may use the iBooks app on Mac instead. it manages all your epub and pdf. add to the library there and the library will be shown in your iTunes when sync with your iDevices.

You can also email the file to yourself and open your email on your ipad, go to the file and download it to your ipad and it will open in iBook.

When your done this will also show in iTunes.

There have been some confusing answers here so I thought I'd give it a shot - after figuring it out. This method assumes you have your iPad synced to a computer you have access to. Also, the instructions are based on a Mac running Yosemite using iTunes 12.1 and iBooks

1) Open the iBooks app and add your ePub files to iBooks. You can simply drag your ePub files into iBooks.

2) Ensure your iPad is connected to your computer and open iTunes.

3) Click on the iPad icon in the iTunes menu.

4) With your iPad selected, you'll see a sidebar menu. Select Books in the sidebar menu and you'll see all of the books that are available in your iBooks app, including the recently added ePubs.

5) Select which books you'd like to sync to your iPad.

6) Click on the Sync button to begin the process of transferring your ePubs to the iPad.

7) Open iBooks on the iPad and start reading.

Worked great.

This is a very late reply ..but for anyone who's still looking for an answer (in 2017, like I just was):

1  Locate the file which is on your Mac and which you want to be able to read in iBooks on your iPad or iPhone.

2  Ctrl-click it, and choose "AirDrop".

3  You'll probably see a message about turning on Bluetooth (and Wi-Fi if it's not already on). Turn on Bluetooth

    and Wi-Fi on your iPad, or iPhone, too.

4  The iPad (or iPhone) should show in your "AirDrop" window on your Mac. Click on your device (iPad or iPhone)

    and the file will then be transferred to that device.

5  On the device (iPad or iPhone) you'll see that the file has arrived, you can then choose WHICH APP to use to

    open it, e.g; "iBooks".

6  File will then appear in iBooks, and will always be readable there. Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.

Perfect David works great
