Conversion is easy for eReader, I gather, so ultimately no problem I guess.

I don't mind a multi-format reader app, as it means just one to maintain and keep updated. My primary ebook reader is a Palm OS PDA, and I must use Plucker, MobiReader, eReader, PalmPDF, and PalmFiction to cover all the bases, and remember which ebooks are in what format.

Yeah -- I'm trying to simplify, myself, but I don't want to settle for not-beautiful. I've been trying to use both the Smart Q7 and my old Nokia 770 -- but they've both developed stupid software problems. Now I just want to get rid of it all, and probably move to an Android phone. Screen might be too small, though. The Nokia is a good compromise size, and has awesome ergonomics, but I can't even connect to a wireless router. (I must have done something way back when -- now that I'm on it again, I've forgotten. Maybe I'll just reflash the thing to factory fresh.)

In some cases, a simple "make" will do it...

You may get bit by dependencies. CoolReader may want to link against libraries you don't have.

The basic
./configure, make, sudo checkinstall process is no problem. I'm just trying to avoid downloading all the zips and trying each one until something positive happens.
Off to start randomly downloading...
