Same here. Everytime I get a bit of downtime, I read.

Already have a tool chain for purchased ebooks (usually .lit):
  1. download ebook(s)
  2. unDRM with ConvertLIT
  3. import to Calibre
  4. update covers and metadata (if missing)
  5. batch convert to ePUB

The only thing that actually requires manual labor is the downloading of the actual ebook and cover/metadata updating (sometimes, I don't like the info retrieved from automated sources). The rest is all done with batch scripting, etc. After the process is done, I don't even have to copy them right away to the iPhone. I can just open the Calibre catalog from practically anywhere and download whatever I feel like reading.
