They live in the Kindle cloud. If you go to your Kindle account on the Amazon site it's like a master distribution center for all your associated devices. The books will always reside there.
If your question is how to read books you've bought with your Mac on the iPad, then (as long as it is signed on with the same Amazon account), click on the Archived items button within the Kindle App on the iPad to load them.
Synced to wrong device maybe?
My guess is that you have done what I did at first. I did not change the selected Kindle device from my Mac to my iPad. My Macbook Pro was the default on the buying page. In fact now that I have Kindle on one of my iPhones (don't bother on a 3G - not really readable), when I buy a book, Kindle shows my iPhone as the default device. As someone posted above, you can go on the Amazon website to your account, then Kindle orders and finally manage your Kindle. You can then change the device for download of each book.

Kindle data from iPad to pc
Hi can you let me know how to extract kindle books from the local iTunes backup? I currently use the kindle books on my iPad kindle app and I was wondering if there is any way that I could remove them from my iPad to my pc. Thanks!

Why don't you just download them again to your PC from amazon.com? Go to "Your Digital Items" (towards upper-right of browser) and then to "Your Kindle Orders". Then, download the one you want directly to PC.
