FFDL, in concert with the Reading List plugin can already do that. Basically, you set FFDL to delete other formats on update/overwrite and add them to a Reading List that will be sent to your device. Then when Reading List syncs your device, it automatically converts them, too.
See Reading List Integration for the full details.
Use FFDL's 'Get Story URLs from Web Page' feature. That's as close as I plan to get.
For one thing, it's more general and can be used more places. For another, I don't want to make it too easy for people to pull large numbers of fics at a time because it's stressful on the site servers. We have had people get (temporarily) locked out of sites before for excessive traffic.

Awesome reply. Thank you. This plugin is really fun to play with.
The "auto convert" thing is a problem I'll deal with at a later time, but I've downloaded the Reading Lists plugin for later use.
I just realized how silly that overwrite/update question was. Now that I have everything configured, "Overwrite if Newer" is perfect for my needs. I just needed to run "Update metadata only" once, to update my existing library.
And the mass-downloading thing can of course case problems, so I can see why it wouldn't be a great idea. The add url function is perfectly sufficient.
