IMO "stanza" is best e-book reading application. I hate how standard pdf readers like "MiGhtyDocs" shows content. It is very cool application also because of google.com/docs offline reading, but not so comfortable to read as "Stanza". That is why i started to search the ways how to convert pdf to stanza format, which is so awesome.
To be honest, it is explained in stanza tutorials.
But i'll just post how i'm doing it, so i could read anything in stanza on my new ipod touch 2nd gen ^^.

2. Open google.com/docs
3. Press Create new > document

5. Press print, so you can get pdf format file. ( when i press Print, google gives me pdf file to download )
6. Now you need to convert pdf file to epub, so you could read it in very nice way... in stanza application
