I don't have a lot of books, most things I read on my PB360 are HTML files, so I'm not sure how much help I'm going to be. Having said that, if I didn't need to convert files, I wouldn't. If I there was a choice, I'd definitely get books that were in a format the Pocketbook supports, EPUB being the most common, I guess.

For the few LIT books I do have, I converted them using Calibre into FB2 and they look lovely. I wouldn't even bother converting your HTML files to FB2 because in my experience the PB360 handles HTML very, very well.

I do have some PDFs that I've tried to convert and I still haven't had much luck getting them how I want them.

If you're going to convert them anyway, I'd definitely use FB2.
