Calibre is your best bet.

Convert books desired on the iPod/iPhone to ePub format. Then turn on the content server. Then load Stanza from the AppStore (it is free). Finally, go into the download/content section and add "web site" to it. Use your local PC name with the port you specified in Calibre and /stanza... so, if your PC is named starrigger and you run the content server on port 8080 put this URL into Stanza:

http://starrigger:8080/stanza

It should find your content server (this will have to be via WiFi as your PC won't be on the public internet).

The other option is to use Stanza desktop. See my post here about how to do that. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...95&postcount=2
