Sounds like a *nix user, your best bet is

What I call linksdump (alias linksdump='elinks -dump -dump-width 2048') for converting .html to .txt.
linksdump $.html > $.txt.

pdftotext (2nd favorite choice)
for I in *.pdf ; do pdftotext $I ; done


clit (for converting .lit)
clit whatever.lit whatever/ (dont' forget the end /, otherwise it'll just create a file)

the best thing is to get lit files and strip them with clit. Then run the .html file that most of them have though linksdump and put it on your reader. That'll keep the formatting and everything.

pdftotext is the best but only if you don't need images.

Don't sweat converting to lrf, .txt and .rtf and .pdf is all you need. LRF looks kinda fugly to me to be honest.
