Hello all! I'm new here, and hope you all can help me. It seems like a friendly kind of place

I will be ordering a Kindle next week, and am really excited. I've been collecting ebooks for about 10 years, but this will be my first portable reader. Here's where I'm having problems.....

I have several thousand ebooks, in PDF, HTML, DOC, RTF, TXT, LIT, PDB, PRC....... You get the idea.

What I would like to do is to batch-convert all of them to a format the Kindle can read. I'm thinking that PRC would probably be the best, but I don't know for sure.

So, my question is two-fold - first, what would be the best format to convert everything to, and second, what would be the best software to use for the conversion? Last time I checked, my ebooks numbered over 10,000, so anything that will batch convert is obviously preferable.

Thanks in advance!
