I have ebooks that are in .exe, .lib, txt, ect, that I have read on my present readers.
I am hoping/wondering if I would be able to change formats of the ebooks that I have to the Kindle one.
You don't need to convert files with a .txt extension; you can import them directly. You can also import .pdf files and Mobipocket files (.mobi & .prc) as long as they don't contain DRM. See locations 1790-1801 in the User's Guide for more information.

Rich text files (.rtf), Word documents, and HTML documents must be converted before transfering to your Kindle.
