Note that PDF conversion is particularly problematic, because "reflowing" PDFs is often hard to do well. |
I've found how wll PDF conversion works depends on the source material. Fairly simple one column PDFs with embedded images are handled reasonably well. Multi-column PDFs and PDFs with fancy formatting will fare less well, and may need substantian work on teh generated HTML to make a usable Mobi file.

The MobiPocket Creator software gives you more control over how the final document looks, but has less import capability than the Reader (it is one version or so behind).
I'm not sure if RTF is supported directly, but these can easily be converted to DOC. For DOC conversion to work with MobiPocket software you need MS Word on your PC (the DOC is converted to HTML by Word and then imported).

Mobi Creator supports RTF, it simply isn't a file extension it recognizes. If you navigate to a directory containing an RTF file, it won't see it unless you change the drop down file box to All Files. Once you select the RTF file, it will convert it.
