I don't sync my iPad with my Mac, everything I need goes through iCloud. The one problem is that iCloud doesn't sync your books.

My genius solution was to use Dropbox. Upload books to Dropbox, open Dropbox on iPad, select the book and tap "open in iBooks". So now I have my book opened in iBooks, but the problem is that it loses the genre (Category). I suppose that the genre is a tag that iTunes handles separately, so it doesn't transfer with the file the way Author, Title, etc. do.

Has anyone encountered this and does anyone have any ideas for a solution?
