Since I try to convert everything I can to text, a good text editor with a robust search/replace is a must.
I was using MS Office for everything but now use the Notepad2 program recommended by another forum member. The more I use it, the more I like it. It has a very good regular expression search feature that can be replaced on. It also handles search and replace for end-of-line characters, tabs, etc. to get badly formatted text under control.

Also a good archive decompresser like 7Zip can extract the content of several ebook formats to the basic files (epub -> html).
