I usually save my ebooks as doc or docx, and I dont mind opening them and saving as rtf, but then I need to run calibre and convert the rtf again... it can be a bit tiresome.

Can it be done at all?
You can change fonts in your device so it displays all those characters right. No need to create special files.
This is what I recommend.
See this very detailed guide:

Also, you do not need to do special conversion if you use OpenOffice.org Writer and export the document as pdf.
