"Easier to load"? Please, give me a break
Kartu, if you are sideloading books into a Touch, they are merely "copied" over from your hard drive. So there shouldn't be a need to "access" your own non-drm books on the Touch later. But if for some reason you mistakenly delete the originals from your PC's hard drive and have no way to get the book again from the original source, you can use a third-party utility to access the Touch's internal storage.

As for things from "other" PC overwriting the entire memory, I have no idea what you are talking about. Do you mean you tried to sync with another iTunes library on another PC? If so, of course it will overwrite your current content if it is a different iTunes library. I have never tried to do that, nor do I know of anyone else who has ever tried to do that or wanted to do that. If you merely wanted to copy some books or music from someone else's PC, the best way to do that is to transfer the content to your PC via a thumb drive and then sync with your own iTunes library.

I still maintain loading books onto the iPad is the easiest way there is, assuming use of Calibre and Stanza and wi-fi.
