Please, tell me, what ebook readers can read .doc files without conversion or is there a batch conversion program I can afford? (I have found only one program but was around $500).

Please help.
Hanlin eBook readers from Jinke can read doc files although they are slow if the document is very big. There are some others identified in the wiki. Abiword can convert these documents to rtf and can be driven in batch mode.
