In a word, brain-dead. Set font to "small" and get a full screen view, with margins, on the tiny screen that cannot be read. Change font size and it "reflows" the text, using no algorithm that I can imagine, since it just hits the right edge and breaks in the middle of a word, or it breaks a line at some arbitrary point for no reason. Navigating the mess is bad, unless you know the page number.
I've not yet tried a Calibre conversion of the same file, since I just learned about it (I just got mine this weekend).

Even if I have to convert them all to epub, I'd be okay as long as I know that I can certainly read all of them.

You can download Calibre, convert them in batch, and use the internal reader to see how they turned out. Specify the Nook as the output profile. Perhaps just do one and fiddle with the settings, then do them all in batch. At least you can edit the generated xhtml if it did something funny parsing out the text, if there's not too much of it. And you can tell it regexes to find the chapter points if it didn't figure it out right.
