Almost all, and then some. The Mobipocket ones are unchanged, only renamed to reflect the content more clearly. The Plucker ones are the result of converting Mobipocket to HTML, and then running the standard Python-based Plucker converter. In the HTML conversion all tags are kept except for MBP: pagebreak (Plucker is browser-styled, so the concept of a page is non-existent). Moreover, the conversion script inserts additional hyperlinks between the table of contents and the body for some (not all, alas, as the formatting in the Mobipocket files was not fully consistent) of the volumes. The Plucker converter then keeps most of the HTML tags--there will always be a few minor differences, and of course there might well be a bug somewhere in my conversion routines (e.g., an encoding problem wouldn't surprise me).

And don't do Plucker. I hate that format. I think the software for dealing with Plucker is utter garbage overall.

What's wrong with Plucker? I have hundreds of mb of Plucker e-texts, in large part because of its search capabilities and customizability. (I am on the Plucker development team.) As far as I know, it's one of the very few--if there are any others--Palm ebook readers that lets you have fully styled text with antialiased fonts (italics in other readers tend to look terrible).
