I've started doing the same thing since I got my iPhone --- have Calibre convert a lit file to lrf for my Sony and epub for the iPhone. Using Stanza (which plays nicely with Calibre) I suck the epubs over to the iPhone. Now I can continue reading what I was reading on my PRS505 --- pick up where I left off --- anytime and anywhere, with the iPhone that is now glued to my hip.
