What kind of source files do you want to convert? I don't know of any solutions for converting other ebook formats directly to eReader. You would need to get the content into PML format first.
The Dropbook utility can take PML files and create eReader documents. It's freeware, and available for the Mac.
There is also a Java app called Makebook, which is no longer developed or supported.
You can find Dropbook and Makebook
here.
Instructions for using them are
here.
And the Palm Markup Language is documented
here.
There are various macro files available for Microsoft Word and Open Office Writer that generate PML formatted texts you can feed to Dropbook. I haven't used them, and can't comment on how well they work. If you use either Word or OO Writer on the Mac, I'll try to dig up links for you.
