Hi Lynn, Sure you can add books into iTunes and then sync to your iPad. I have my Tutorials, eBooks, Take Control eBooks all on my iPad as well as my MBP. 1. Add the file (or files) to your iTunes library on your computer using one of the following methods: • In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library and open the file. • Drag the file from the Finder (Mac) The book appears in the Books category in iTunes, and it can be copied to the iPad the next time you sync. 2. With your iPad selected in the iTunes sidebar, click the Books tab. Make sure Sync Books in enabled at the top of the tab, and then in the Books pane below, mark the checkboxes for items you want to transfer. After syncing, when you open the iBooks app, the book appears in your library. If it is a PDF, tap the PDF button at the top of the iBooks screen to view it.
