I'm guessing none all these will be sold in a manner that prevents conversion to text. I know most Kindle files (azw) won't let you convert to text. I don't blame the publishers for wanting to protect their copyright. I just want my software to analyze word and expression usage in the book and erase it.
If I can get some of these to work, it will be much easier than scanning, so any further advice on where to shop or what format to purchase would be appreciated.

FWIW ebooks.com is one of the most expensive places to shop. As far as the books they and others like Books On Board, CyberRead, etc. sell most will have DRM protection which would need to be removed to convert them to TXT. Adobe (ePub and PDF), Mobipocket (and Kindle AZW), MS Reader and eReader have all had their DRM method broken so that the purchaser can remove the DRM.
