I have an iphone and have done the following - think the same is applicable for the iTouch, though you should confirm this
1. Jailbreak the phone and install Open SSH and the BSD subsystem.
2. Install WinSCP on your PC.
3. Using Installer.app on your iPhone (this an app used to install stuff on a jailbroken phone), install the ebook reader (available in installer.app) on the iphone.
4. Use WinSCP to transfer ebook (txt) files to the iPhone.

Let me know if this help - mine works with no problems except for the formatting. Alternatively, there are webapps for the iPhone (and iTouch I guess) which allow you to upload a book to a website, and download it via safari onto the iphone.
