Just stick with converting to the ereader's format.

Tablets can read any format, mostly because you can install multiple reader apps on one device. But they tend to be more expensive...

Thanks Boss. Kindles read .prc files too, don't they? And, you know, the tablets aren't that expensive. An HD Fire 6" is $79. But I don't have wi-fi and really wasn't going to get it, but that leads to another question: can I read ebooks on a tablet without wifi? I'm assuming I can plug an ethernet cable into a tablet. Then I could get the books on the tablet that way, then read them without wi-fi? Is this plausible?
