Hi Jesse,
If you have epub files, you should just be able to add them to iTunes
(Command-O shortcut for "Add to Library", then navigate the dialogue
window as you would for Finder and press (VO-Space) the Open button).
They'll show up under "Books" in your iTunes sources table. This
category now holds both eBooks and Audiobooks. If you want to read
these on your iPad in iBooks, they'll have to be DRM-free files, and
you'll need to have the iBooks app -- which is only downloadable if
your account is with the U.S. iTunes store, according to what I've
read. To sync the files you would connect the iPad to your Mac,
select the device in your sources table, stop interacting, then
navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the "Books" tab for the iPad, VO-Space to
press, then check the box to "Sync Books" and either "Sync All" or
check the selections you want to sync.
If the iPad's apps are like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you should be
able to double tap the iTunes app, and either select Podcasts and look
through the selected podcasts in various categories or do a Search and
type in a particular podcast series. These downloads are individual
episode selections, and are separate from the way iTunes on your
computer handles subscriptions.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

Hi all,
Just two quick qwuestions:
1. Is there a way to get epub files I have to the iPad?
2. I know we can sink podcasts from the mac to iPads. Can we use the
built-in itunes on the iPad to download them as well?
Thanks for the help,
Jesse
