I think your kinda outa luck with iTunes. It seems iTunes is listed in the requirements. I wonder if iTunes works enough under WINE to use for syncing. It is stated on Apple's website that third-party ePub books could be synced to the iPad.

I don't use it currently, but according to AppDB it has a spotty compatibility history, so I'm not sure.

I'm hesitant to rely on the "iTunes under WINE" method for fear of future updates breaking compatibility. I could dual boot, but that pushes the hassle to reward ratio a little too far for me personally.

I guess I'll take a wait and see on the iPad. Oh, well.
