1293323 2012-08-06 10:17:00 I hate iTunes.

I have a couple hundred books on my iPad and I want to add a few more to it from my PC.
when I go to click Sync Books I get this message.

Are you sure you want to sync books? All existing books on the iPad "name" will be replaced with books from your iTunes library.

Does this mean that my couple of hundred books will be deleted and only the new ones will be there when done?

1293325 2012-08-06 10:28:00 I read that speedy but the advice on it is not clear DeSade (984)
1293326 2012-08-06 10:48:00 How were the books that are currently on the ipad obtained? If they are from the itunes store or whatever as long as you sign into the same itunes account on both the ipad and itunes. If they are just pdf's sitting in your ibooks library then you have to use a 3rd party program (unless itunes lets you just simply drag and drop ebooks from the books library into your computer library). Could be worth investigating this: www.goodreader.net they have an ios app that accompanies it. Alternatively you could email each pdf to yourself :D icow (15313)
1293327 2012-08-06 11:11:00 just drag them over into the books 'menu' and you'll view them in ibooks on the device GameJunkie (72)
1293328 2012-08-06 11:12:00 I'm not sure, a colleague at work put them on the iPad for me. Now I have a new one (not purchased) and I want to add it to the library.
Why is this so damn hard......
