I do that, and only a tenth of the books I selected are loaded. Then when I eject and plug in my wifes ipad, i goto device and then books in the center at the top in iTunes it shows the same books. I must be really confused! I appreciate all the help.

Now today I did load all the books without an iPad attached. Just used File - Loaded Folder to Library. Where before I was trying to load books through eCalibre. Not sure if that had something to do with it, but ran out of time to continue due to work. I'll have to try again more tomorrow before work or on Monday and Tuesday on my days off.

One more thing.. do I need to be signed into iTunes with each account (I have one and my wife has a separate one)?

Yes, when syncing, you have to be signed into the correct iTunes account.

Well, I got all the books into Itunes and appropriate books to the right ipads. I am thinking that it had something to do with the way I was sending the books to the ipad through ecalibre. From now on, I will just add files to iTunes library and then check and uncheck as necessary. thanks for all the help.

On a side note, I did not sign in to iTunes before doing any of this today and it seems to have worked. Will try to resync everything again tomorrow and see if it all holds.
