Untimately, my goals when creating a book is to get it into a txt form, format it to RTF using MS Word. I like using timesroman at 16 points. Since I discovered this little formula, I have had nothing but pleasure from my reader.
PDF's are of little concern for me now unless they are locked where I can't convert them.

Complete agree with you, Seth - that's an excellent way to do it.
Stingo's "Word" macro (linked to in the Wiki) does an extremely nice job of formatting text files for the Reader - getting rid of the carriage returns at the end of each line, changing the font, etc. Well worth a look if you're not using it already.
For stuff that you want to keep longer-term, "Book Designer" produces nice LRF files, but for "read once and throw away" stuff, RTF is definitely the way to go.
