formatting?

My wife has had her REB1100 for several years now and has gotten 12,000-18,000 hours out of it. In that time we have collected about 40% of our books in electronic form of some sort (html, txt, and rtf). We are about to get a V3, and I was wondering what the best way to format books for this device are? The things im most interested in are:
  • is there a way to make a functioning table of contents?
  • what is the best way to pre-process any images (2bit png? limited color palette?)
  • what formats will allow for change of fontsize?

The software that we use to convert to the rb format was an HTML to rb converter from sourceforge. I wrote a java text parser to break into chapters, and put all the right tags in place.

Also, once I have taken the time to convert these over, is there a way for me to make them available to others who already own the book without putting my self in harms way?
