So where is the problem?
You just drag & drop the files to you reader and start reading. No conversion necessary.
PocketBook can read *most* of the file formats used for e-books directly. Doc, rtf, pdf, html, even djvu or chm. The only major format it can not read directly is lit.
You can not only read doc files directly, you do not have to reformat the files in any way. PocketBook overrides most of the formatting, so you do not have to care if the word document was formated in a Monospaced or Comic Sans or that it has huge margins or too wide or too ticht line spacing. Just load the third-party fbreader and you can configure just about anything.
