One other thought...

Technology is always changing. The file you have now, while readable in the future, won't be terribly appealing in the future.

For example, in today's world, what good is a bunch of TXT documents? Do you really want to go through the hassle of converting them all? Even if you do, they won't look as good as documents created specifically for LRF, PDF, etc.

My point is that technology will change. Better e-book formats will be created. You'll just want to get that new format down the road. So don't worry about archiving today's content. Treat an e-reader as a "here and now" device - nothing more.
