Very true by experience pdf is pretty bad for conversions, but alot of pdf reflow just fine on the reader. i have a prs 505 and a lot of of pdf are readable by just zooming once or twice, just make sure it has no pics and its very simple formating.
For your lit collection, use convert lit gui, do a quick google seach and you ll get the page. This software can remove the drm of the books you own and then you can convert them to other formats with calaibre. Lit is probably the best format to own, converts very well and keeps all the comments, title, author from the ebook. Great format, just not readable, but for archieving its the best!
For conversions you might want to stick with lrf, its not thats its better than epup, quite the opposite, but i had bad luck with a lot of conversions from other formats to epup... lit might be different i will have to test. But test a bit, your experience might be different than mine!
anyway good luck!
EDIT: Another interesting software is pdfread 1.82, if you have scanned books it converts them to lrf. Then with lrftools you can convert them to epup. Knowing this would of saved me alot of trouble from the start
, hope it helps!
Here is a .bat for batch converting pdf to lrf with pdfread, best settings i have found for pdfread. Replace resolution with the one formyour device, i used the rez here for my prs 505. Still should be fine as you can zoom so no problem really.
