If you have MS Word on your PC than Windows MobiPocket Reader will convert DOC to MOBI. Or convert them to RTF first and then Calibre (which has its own forum here) will do the conversion for you. Calibre started out as a PRS-500 library and conversion program, but is now an "all EInk devices" tool.
The PRS-505 has the advantage that it reads PDFs. For the Kindle you must convert them to MOBI (using Windows MobiPocket Reader or Calibre) and sometimes that does not work well. However, in those cases I'm not sure how well the PRS-505's "reflow" will work either.
The "email to Amazon" PDF conversion was originally very similar to Windows MobiPocket Reader's conversion (Amazon owns MobiPocket), but it seems to have been improved recently. If reflowing does not work, it sends back a MOBI containing images of partial pages. There are programs for the Sony that take this approach (and some of them can output MOBI for the Kindle also).
