Hi!
I've used Stanza, eReader, and iPhone Bookshelf. Of the three, bookshelf is the most versatile, and in my opinion the easiest to use to get your books over to the phone. The developer is great and responds to email positively and quickly.
There are two ways to get books to your iPhone. The first is to run a very simple java application on your desktop. You double click on the icon, click on the folder you want to share to your iPhone, and the you can get your books. Note that this requires you to have a WiFi network in your house. If you don't, you can still make it work, but it's a little trickier.
I'm using another method. I have a server, and I'm running his software on my server. This way I have access to my library anywhere I happen to be.
He supports many formats. The three DRM formats he doesn't support, and in which I have purchased books, are MobiPocket, eReader, and Microsoft reader. However, I've found tools online to strip the DRM from each of these formats. He doesn't support .lit books yet, but abclit converts the nicely into other formats.
I now use bookshelf exclusively, buying my ebooks as normal, stripping them of DRM, and then putting them on my shelfserver for my own enjoyment. The $10 I spent foe the reader on the phone is the best money I've spent on iPhone software yet.
