After that, just unzip the package and copy it over to the iLiad, click on the icon to install it, and away you go. You need to get yourself a free account with Feedbooks, but after that you can download books direct from the Feedbooks site to your iLiad via wifi. You can also subscribe to RSS feeds on the website, then sync with them directly on the iLiad. It won't connect to ManyBooks, though. The software is independent of your PC, so it doesn't matter what sort you have. Just run it on the iLiad, it will connect to wifi automatically, let you search for books and download the ones you want, and disconnect from wifi when you quit.
Thanks. So I won't have a problem syncing up with a Mac after I unzip the package?
I've read the Irex software is not too Mac friendly (I realize this is not native Irex software we're discussing here).

And BTW carandol, thanks for introducing me to Richard Kerley, in a roundabout way (via your post).
