"I bought an iPad Air and want to give my old iPad to my husband. I have hundreds of items in iBooks and want to move them to my new iPad. I backed up the old one to iCloud but can't figure out how to get this data to the new one the store set up for me. I tried emailing the PDF files to myself, but there are hundreds, and some of my downloaded magazines do not give the option to email them. I do not want to lose these magazines. How do I transfer all iBooks to my new iPad?"
