With the Ebookwise ages ago, I used the Librarian (it was 15$ but worth every penny) and there was no problem about converting or loading imp files on the card; took a little more than I liked since the imp files have to be split on the card but nothing too onerous.
With the 770, just close Fbreader and plug the device in the USB cable - same as for the PRS btw, so it's nice to have only one needed - drag and drop. I downloaded the occasional book from various sources (Baen, FW multi, Gutenberg) directly, usually in zipped prc or zipped html or directly in prc/html, and it's very easy too with a wi-fi connection, but I mostly use the USB cable.
With the 500 and now the 700 I mostly load the files (generally converted with Calibre plus unconverted pdf's that I just edit the meta-data with BeCy) in Sony Library software and then drag and drop when the PRS is plugged in and shows there. Sometimes I drop directly on it since it shows as an extra drive on my PC and it's easy to click through to get to the books directory.
Of course for DRM-pdf's from e-NYPL say, you need to use ADE software but the PRS shows there as it does on the Sony software so it's still drag and drop. Or at least it used to be...
I used the iTouch only a little for books, but the only way I put books on it is with USB and a file utility since I keep my iTouch jail-broken always. Never bothered with setting up a server for my books though I know it's easy, but I have not used it for books in a long, long time
