Good to know; all that matches my understandings.

The only PDB format at present is PalmDOC. It does support .rtf and single-file HTML (in a ZIP if it contains images). See File Navigation: Hanlin V3 vs OpenInkPot for screenshots showing a selection of the file formats that will be detected as "supported".

Thank you for those. Lack of native HTML support is one of the things I dislike most about my Sony Reader; I often find blog posts I want to read on the way to work, and am happy to download them as HTML, but converting to something else is a bit of a hassle sometimes. (I'm told I could figure out something with RSS feeds, but I tend to jump around; I don't have a stable collection of blogs I regularly read.)
Does it support .rtf with pictures? (The Sony doesn't.)

I did not try a .doc, because I don't consider it an ebook format and I doubt that it can be supported well.

I agree that .doc is not an ebook format. However, it's a very common document format, and most of the docs I work with are smaller in .doc format than in .rtf format. Native .doc reading would keep me from needing two versions. There are other reasons I prefer .doc, which have to do with technical aspects of my document conversion processes. But it's no great imposition to need to use .rtf.
I suspect that I'll eventually get a Pocket Pro and go back to converting things to eReader PDB. I like that format, I can format ebooks for it quickly, and it's very compressed.
