RTF works just fine for books that you just want to read through from start to end, and don't need things like a table of contents, or pictures. All you have to do, to make an RTF book nicely readable on the Reader, is to bump up the font size to around 16pt, which is very easy to do in a word processor like "Word".
Eg, with RTFs downloaded from Baen, all I do is:
1. Load the book into "Word".
2. Select the "Edit/Select All" menu item.
3. Press "Ctrl+Shift+>" twice. This increases the size of everything by 4pt, so the basic text becomes 16pt rather than 12pt.
4. Select "File/Properties" and fill in the "Title" and "Author" fields in the dialog.
5. Re-Save the file.
I now have a book which will display nicely on the Reader.
That takes perhaps 1 minute. If I decide it's a good book, and one which I'll want to re-read, I'll then spend the 10 minutes it takes to convert it into a nice-looking LRF file with "Book Designer".
