I love my Kindle!! But I have just purchased an iPad 2, so my hubby would like my Kindle now. My problem is, I have alot of books on my computer not purchased through Amazon, and I use Calibre to put them on my Kindle. Can I do the same for the iPad?

I use Calibre too. What I do is just drag and drop all the books into iTunes (when open). Then when it next syncs, they should all sync automatically. If they don't, check that the iPad is set up for books (once the iPad is showing up in iTunes, you click on the iPad and you can choose whether you want all movies, selected movies, all tv shows, selected TV shows, etc. Make sure that books are selected, then tell it to resync).
