Hi Lynn,

You need to download the 'Free' iBooks.app from the App Store. You need an 
iTunes Store Account (but the iBooks.app is Free)
This is all in the Manual  0iPad User Guide' which I sent the link to you 
previously. Chapter 15 - iBooks. 
iBooks.app reads ePUB & PDFs.

Then Sync your ePub etc using iTunes:
"Use iTunes to sync your books with iPad. When iPad is connected to your 
computer, the Books pane lets you choose which books to sync.
In addition to books that you download from iBookstore, iBooks works with books 
that are in ePub format and DRM-free. There are several websites that offer 
ePub books, and many of these books can be used with iBooks.
Add an ePub book: Download the book using your computer, then add it to your 
iTunes library. Connect iPad to your computer, select the book in the Books 
pane in iTunes, then sync iPad."

Download and read the below Manual.
