I'm working on this right now, for the general not-to-technical consumers, although I still sell RTF files that the more savvy consumers can convert for themselves.
I have purchased Steve's books and formatted them to LRF for my own use through BookDesigner. The LRF files are about one-third the size of the RTF files I got from Steve and they also display the cover page that the RTF files do not. The conversion was quick & easy and took around 60 seconds per book.

If you are looking for some good scifi or a great noir novel, check out Steve's work. They are good and the price is unbelievable. I went back for more.
