What I do is use the superhero team of Calibre, Calibre OPDS, Dropbox (a 2gb free account is generally roomy enough for a thousand or so ebooks), and Stanza. Search around the forum and you'll find directions for putting your Calibre library "in the cloud" using those tools, and then you can browse your entire collection while away from your computer and download whichever book suits your whim. (You can also browse the html book catalog Calibre OPDS generates from Safari etc). Not sure what sort of iBooks integration can be done (maybe using the Dropbox app will let you import the epubs to iBooks rather than Stanza?) because I don't really bother with iBooks.

Here are the instructions I used

Hope this helps you get something sorted out

obligatory dropbox referral link: if you signup using a referral, you and the referrer each get an extra 250mb of storage. yay!
