Well, par program was only an example, so you do not have to experiment with various tools. Most of advanced text editors can convert the text by wrapping it at the width of 44.

What makes par special, is that par ties to recognize bulet lists, numbered lists , text in frames, paragraphs in Guttenberg texts, it can balance lengths of lines to make the text more eye pleasing, ...
If you read the documentation for par you will find out that par can do MUCH more than just wrap the text at the 44 position.

I have looked at the StarEbook site. I have even downloades some software so I can experiment a little.

When I saw a link pointing me to a site with 100 000 books I was very excited. Until I went there. The site is in chinese. :-((

Also "Electronic shop" is in chinese. The only thing I can read is the price (Hey! they seem to have some discount). Unfortunately I do not know what currency the 3500 is in ;-)
So much for buying it online.
