MoibReader auto converts a good number of formats to MOBI/PRC (formats used by mobipocket for BlackBerry) by simply importing them into the library. You can then use MobiPocket for the BlackBerry to read the text on your BlackBerry. The conversion processes is pretty transparent from the user stand point.

To get a better formatted text use MobiCreator, but it is slightly harder to use.

Last recommendation however is for you not do any initial conversion yourself. Many of the Books in PG are already on this site. If they are not, simply request it and the many contributors on this site will most likely oblige. Once you are comfortable reading eBooks you can then try creating an eBook, and possibly always return the favor to the group.
