How to convert PDF files to ePub files to read on your iPad with iBooks

This tutorial will guide you through the process of converting PDF files so that they can be read in iBooks, the iPad application.


Update: you can now read PDF files directly in iBooks, without having to convert them to .epub or any other format. See this tutorial for a quick overview of how to add PDF files to iBooks to read on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch.
This tutorial will remain up just in case someone wants to create an .epub of their PDF.
iBooks uses an ebook format called ePub. Using a free converter application (and ebook manager) called calibre you can quickly convert PDF (and other file formats) to .epub files, which you can then transfer to your iPad for reading in iBooks. This tutorial will take you step by step through the entire process.
