I am a user (and have paid, as I urge others to do) of libprs500 and think that it is a fantastic program and agree with Kovid that it is the most important to get.
However, PDFLRS is also a great program to get and I have found that it works wonders with the entirely-graphics googlebooks files. This is especially important for books which include graphics such as music books (song books, theory/harmony/counterpoint books). But all googlebooks are merely graphical scans of books, as opposed to Project Gutenberg files which are all available as plain text files, with many also being available as html files which include the graphics.
Also useful are web2book and BookDesigner. If you download BookDesigner, be sure to read the sticky messages under Reader Content forum and be sure to download Harry T's wonderful tutorial on using BookDesigner.
The only other things to get, possibly, are the Word macro which easily strips the unnecessary hard returns from the PG plain text files to make the text flow more nicely for files you don't want to bother with any of the conversion programs with, or the Librie Text Assistant which does the same thing independently of any word processor. This is easy -- Click on OPEN and navigate to the text file, click PROCESS then click SAVE and the book is rewritten still as a plain text file but with the hard returns at the end of each line removed, while keeping the double hard-returns intact for paragraph separation.
