It appears that Safari can directly open pdf urls, so you can upload pdfs and read them online.

There's also an ebook reader project on google code called books.app though it only reads text and html (it does do gutenberg html). The lead dev/project owner has grudgingly added pdf to the dev plan, though he made it low priority, so it doesn't appear to be anything that's going to happen soon.

Soonr give remote access to documents & skype, but from their website appears to reformat documents for mobile viewing (free service for now, soon to make a premium paid service). Drat, *so* close.

Is there anything else out there that I've missed?
If Safari can open PDF files you could try using Feedbooks: http://www.feedbooks.com

One of the available template (A4/Sony/iLiad) might work OK with the iPhone/iPod Touch. You can also create custom PDFs for it. This way it should be easy to get a good looking e-book on your device...
