LinuxJournal wrote a marvellous tutorial explaining how to convert e-books of various proprietary formats to HTML. E-books in HTML should allow you to view them on your choice of device. The tutorial covers:

PalmDoc (convert to HTML with Pyrite Publisher)
RocketBook (convert to HTML with Rbmake)
Mobipocket (convert to HTML with Rbmake)
Microsoft Reader (convert to HTML with Convert Lit)

Non-Linux users be warned: this tutorial makes heavy use of the command line.
