What did you mean "to avoid conversions"? Are you averse to the idea of auto-converting documents to an optimal form? This should be no different from "printing" to a paper, the printout is a "conversion" of your original document after all
If you have to create/"print" them, yes, might as well do it right the first time. But in the case of getting pre-formatted digital files (PDFs or images, uncompressed or zip/cbr) it is an extra step that is annoying esp. when dealing with large volumes.

So far the biggest speed issue has always been with PDFs because they don't work on a per-pixel basis and always "scale" to some extent (as I found out with my writepads, just wish the scribble export would work with images and not just PDFs...) Other formats (text in FBReader, images in the built-in viewer) are actually pretty snappy, so I would not be so concerned with pre-formatting them to optimal DR1000 rez (and in the case of UPscaling, it would be pretty useless anyway)

P.S.: I second the thanks to Gertjan.
