Hope I got this post right.
I have been playing around with an old itouch for a for weeks now.
The best and most flexible reader I have found so far: textReader.
http://code.google.com/p/iphonetextreader/
Its free and supports loads of formats.
But needs a hacked iphone/itouch. Since mine is 1G and old, didnt have any issues with that.
-Just install it via cydia.
-Then use the iphonebrowser to copy the docs into the itouch.

Preferably someplace under the /private/var/mobile/.
-textReader allows you to browse the file system and select files.
-Just read off. I found it quite good to use.
I havent figured out how to use stanza yet as I dont have convenient wifi access to pair it with the desktop stanza or calibre.
