It's amazing that in 2013 you can't just drag and drop a file onto an iPad. Every time I end up having to use an Apple device I'm amazed that people continue to put up with all of these restrictions. I'm guessing they just don't know better. I'm still in awe that you can't maximize a program on a Mac. You paid for the full screen, you just can't use it...

Try iTools - it's free and allows drag and drop of PDF and ePUB files to and from your iPhone or iPad. (also pictures and videos)
