On both your iPhone & iPad check you have messages setup correctly.
I receive all messages on all my devices and can reply/continue conversation to 
the sender from any of my devices.

A couple of things you could check:
1. In Settings > Notification Center > Messages  - Do you have selected  
'Alerts', 'Alert Sound',  'Show in Notification Center', 'Show on Lock Screen' 
- 'Show Preview' - Repeat Alerts Once (or more) - 'Show Alerts from Everyone'?

2. In Settings > Messages - Do you have selected 'Send Read Receipts', 'Send as 
SMS, 'Send & Receive' - 'You Can Be Reached By iMessage at' do you have your 
Apple ID 'email address' and your iPhone 'Mobile Number' listed - 'Start New 
Conversations from' your Apple ID email address?
In Settings > Messages - Send & Receive - that you have iPhone number and 
iCloud email addresses

iBooks takes any ePub or PDF. Just drop the PDFs into iBooks on your Mac
Then connect your iPad and select the PDFs under iBooks and sync them to my 
iPad.
Sync Books to iPad or iPhone 

1. Connect iPad to your Mac 
2. Open iTunes
3. Click  iPad under Devices (Books will then appear in the Menu at top)
4. Click Books
5. Top left where it says Sync Books - (instead of choosing 'All Books') choose 
'Selected Books'
6. Tick all the books you want on iPad (or select ‘All Books’ if you want to 
sync all books)
7. Click  Sync button 

Cheers,
Ronni
