In fact the later is such obvious an utility that one wonders how it is that it has not been incorporated in the main OS.
Could be done very easily using the Feedbooks API, this way you'd have RSS feeds in a custom PDF that fits the iPod/iPhone screen: http://www.feedbooks.com/help/newsstand_api

.epub support would be even sweeter, the creator of Books.app already said that he would like to add epub support: http://www.teleread.org/blog/?p=7207#comment-565684

Maybe it is of interest. I just learned about iPhoneDrive, a piece of software, that allows you to put files on and of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I don't know how well it works, cause I have neither device, and I am not related to this company.

There are none so far as in that they all take forever. A conversion takes a one to one time ratio; very slow.

Have anyone tried this application?

I've been looking at an iPod Touch mostly for using it as a PDA, and what a wonderfully usable and instantly responsive interface it has. So neat! I hate my Dell X51 with Windows Mobile 5 - sluggish and complicated - #X&?%€!! I've never gotten the sync to work well, and neither the WiFi. And as my main computer is an iMac, a Touch would fit right in.

This app seems to make it easier to transfer e.g. pdf files - and I guess that would also make it easier to view them?

I'm happy with my Cybook for most of my reading, but if I'm buying a PDA like device, I'd also want it to display ebooks, at least as html and pdf. More formats is better, but I can live with this. the Cybook is restricted, too, since it still can't handle html tables - turns out to be a big deal with the html files with the fan fics I save to my disk. So I have to reformat a lot anyway.

Oh..., any thoughts on size? It's supposed to be my PDA (calendar, lists and notes, contacts, etc.), first and foremost, then reader, film viewer and sometimes music player, not my regular music player (my nano fits my pocket fine when bicycling). I recently brought my PDA on a 3 week holiday - and brought along about 8 GB worth of books, music and films. Seemed more than enough space - I had difficulties filling it out. And did I use it? Nah... Three weeks of exciting experiences in the Andes (Chile, Bolivia and Peru) and I had no need or energy at all for any other entertainment However, it might be nice to have 16 GB, but why? I'm guessing that in 1 1/2 - 2 years we'll have 3G iPhones in Denmark, too, and then I'll want to get one of those. Is it worth the extra cost then? I'll find out what I want, but it would be interesting to hear your opinion.

Handbrake.
It's easy, it's simple, and it's not fast ... basically doing the conversion in real time. i.e. a 90min movie takes 90min to convert.

Some countries believe this software is illegal .... hence no link. try googling. if the URL ends with .fr, then you're pretty good.

Easy, yes. Fast, well, everyone else has already said it.

DVD Catalyst and DVDFab both work well.

I've dealt with the developer of DVD Catalyst and he's a good guy.

In fairness, fast can be done nowadays what with decent hardware encode acceleration finally being available. Both ATI Stream and NVIDIA CUDA have greatly improved picture quality compared to previous iterations making them viable alternatives to slow CPU encoding. Intel has even joined the fray with their QuickSync technology.

Heck, even entry level computers now (with dual-core Celeron Sandy Bridge or AMD Llano) are comparable to top of the line PC's back in Q4'07.
