Why don't you convert the PDFs to epub?
I tried for the ebook reader I have and that didn't satisfied me. The pdf I tried so far are well formatted so in iPhone is readable, even in vertical position.

I agree with you that the Iphone isn't good for that purpose.

Anyway there are only few pdf in my library, all the others are epub (most) or djvu.

May I ask why you don't want to use iTunes? Is it because you don't like it, or because the phone is your wife's and you don't want to get the accounts confused? The thing is, the phone doesn't care, you still have to use the App Store to get applications.
it's quite simple.

I have linux boxes. On them I've xp virtualized for special progs (those that my wife has for job and exists only for win systems), so I could put iTunes there.
But since both linux boxes read directly the iPhone file system structure, i'd like to avoid to install a couple of hundreds of mb in those virtualized XP system when I can do the same job with a cut&paste via linux.

As for the apps, I got them via the appstore on the phone itself
