I believe el Stevo announced iBooks support for 3G or 3GS in iPhone OS 4.0 which should be released in the early 3rd quarter. I do recall that this update would not work on version 1 devices, and seem to recall it would not work on v2 devices (hardware revisions, not O/S versions.). So if you got your phone in the last 12 months you should be ok. Google search iPhone 4 and you should find reference. Tuaw.com might also be a good place to look.

May I suggest Stanza (it's on iTunes) to start, and go pick up a free program called Calibre. This app will act like a server on your local PC allowing you to serve up ePub and non-DRM books to Stanza. Calibre will show up in Stanza under, Get Books, Shared, Shared on Local Computer. Note, wifi local network only unless you are up to some network config, port forwarding, dynDNS goodness.
