Thanks, again, for the response. You gave it more than "the ol' college try."
I transferred e-books and PDFs from the computer to the iPAD last night. This morning when I turned on the iPAD - Who knew I was so seductive? - those "new" books I added still were there. It is a mystery to me as to where the previous collection went. Poof! Some little hiccup, I guess, since the iBOOKS app appears to be working as usual today.
P.S. Thanks for the tip/warning about NOT deleting the iBOOKS app. I imagine there would be little (read: zero) chance - of downloading and reinstalling it again.
