I use Stanza on my iPhone as my eReader. I've found the best way to get stories onto my phone are to use the Stanza desktop to load a file and then save it to an epub format. Then I mail that to my Gmail account. The Stanza iPhone can access the email account and pull the epub directly.
It may be a bit convoluted but I can use the mail account as a storage vault for stories that I may with to remove from my phone. If I want to go back and look at a story again, since it's already in a place where Stanza can load it directly, it is VERY easy the 2nd time.
As for the original question, in my opinion the iPad is still a solution looking for a problem. Since I have my iPhone, I see no value in the iPad.
BTW: I love the iPhone/Stanza combo as my eReader. It may not be as good a pure eReader as something like a Kindle, but I always have my phone with me. If I used a specialized eReader, then I'd have to carry it around. I like having my eReader with me when I want it.
Just my 2-cents
