While the iPad lacks a global file management system that all apps can see & use, I think the GoodReader app will meet your needs. GoodReader supports all of the formats you mentioned (RTF, HTML, and PDF among many others), plus it offers great file management features. You can create any folder hierarchy you like and move files around. My favorite feature is the ability to mount the GoodReader file system as a network drive on my PC. This allows me to use the PC to create the file structure I want and just drag-n-drop the books I want into this file structure. This approach allows me to avoid using iTunes for transferring books all together (you can use iTunes to transfer books to GoodReader, but only to GoodReaders root directory. Once there though, you can move them on the iPad to whatever folder you want).
