I only read fiction novels, so I convert all the books that I buy to FB2 immediately after I buy them. When I read on my V5 I read FB2 to avoid using the ADE reader. On my V3, I only read with OpenInkpot and FBReader. Naturally, FBReader handles FB2 pretty well, but since Sigl has come on the scene, I have been converting Book Designer's native HTML format to EPUB with Sigl. For my reading habits the EPUB produced by Sigl works OK on OpenInkpot too. That means that for every book I buy I end up with four copies of the book on my PC. That would be the original format, Book Designer HTML, FB2, and EPUB.
Since I am retired I have plenty of time to do that with each book that I buy.
