I know a lot of people are happy with converting their books with Calibre, but I actually hate that program (though I seem to be the only one, so I won't go into that!). Plus, I really dislike having to convert every book I want to read...
All my files are DRM-free. That's why I used the term .prc versus Mobipocket. What DRM books I buy, and that is very few, I make them DRM-free immediately.

Though the EZ Reader does handle Html, it is not great. I tried a few when I first got mine.

Here are some notes I made on these format from my original evaluation of the EZ Reader:



.DOC
Menu:
1. Go to first page
2. Go to last page
3. Go to page
4. Go to Catalog
5. English speaking
6. About..

Keys:
Bottom bar with bookmarks, page no/total pages, battery icon remains on page
1-5 set/clear/go to bookmarks
6 sets bookmarks, HOLD for list
7 no function
8 three zooms, with last going landscape

 
 
TXT
Menu:
1. Go to first page
2. Go to last page
3. Go to page
4. English speaking
5. About..

Keys:
1-5 sets/resets/go to bookmark
6 sets next bookmark, Hold for list
7 no function
8. 3 zooms with 3rd one in landscape

 
 
Has bottom bar with "page no/total pages, battery icon

no indents, no para spacing

 
 
 
HTML

Menu:
1. Go to first page
2. Go to last page
3. Go to page
4. English speaking
5. About..
Keys:
Bottom bar remains on screen, bookmarks, page no/total pages, battery icon
1-5 set/clear/go to book marks
6 sets next bookmark, Hold give list
7 no function
8 zoom, three levels, last one is landscaped

 
RTF

Menu:
1. Go to first page
2. Go to last page
3. Go to page
4. Go to Catalog
5. English speaking
6. About..
Keys:
bottom bar remains on screen, bookmark, page no/total pages/ battery icon
1-5 set/clear/go to bookmark
6 sets next bookmark
7 no function
8 sometimes froze screen, but also rotates between portrait/landscape, no zoom
IN LANDSCAPE MODE THE FORWARD BACKWARD BUTTONS (9, 0) ARE REVERSED, TRIED THIS WITH LEFT SIDE BUTTONS AND SCREEN FROZE.
