It depends...
As the computer geek in the house, I'm in charge of making sure that both my reader and my wife's reader have the latest copies of our electronic library on board. Back when libprs500 was having its conversions steadily debugged, every other version (or so) produced better-looking and less buggy lrf output than the previous ones. So every other version or so, I'd convert 500-600 ebooks, and re-load the readers. Scripts are a wonderful thing!
Now that the conversions are pretty solid, I'm mostly just converting a few files at a time (as downloaded or purchased), and adding them to libprs500 for our eventual use. This means that I do far fewer bulk conversions than I did a few months ago.
Meanwhile, converting as
I want to read would work fine. But my reading order and my wife's reading order often diverge widely.
