My iPod Touch is also my eBook reader. I use the Stanza app (recently upgraded), and the Stanza desktop application to get pdf and other formats into my iPod Touch. But Stanza can’t read all formats, and occasionally an imported file will not display correctly — the layout gets messed up.
This is where 2epub.com comes in. This online eBook converter will take up to 5 eBooks of various formats (doc, epub, fb2, html, lit, lrf, mobi, odt, pdb, pdf, prc, rtf, txt) and convert them to ePub (or fb2, lit, lrf, mobi) format.
Then it’s a simple matter to share the file with Stanza, and send it to my iPod Touch.
I’ve only converted a couple of titles so far, but the output files have worked like a charm.
2ePub is a very cool and sophisticated application, utilizing a few ‘hidden’ backend applications — according to the developers:

Another program I have found that works very well with the Stanza iPhone/Touch app, and also does a good job converting other formats to ePub, is calibre. I haven’t tried 2ePub, so I can’t say which program is better, but I would be curious to see a review of the two compared!
Thanks! I’ll look into Calibre soon, esp. from the eBook management perspective which, from reading the calibre faq, seems more sophisticated
Thanks for the heads up!
