1. paste text into OpenOffice.org Writer
2. Format Text - set page size, margins, font, ...
3. Print into pdf file

Once you have all programs installed and you know what to do it takes less than 3 minutes of your work per book.

If you look for dirt-cheap solution, try to purchase cheapest second hand notebook. This is how I started with e-books. I salvaged an old notebook from trash.

They have transreflective grey LCD display and last up to 20 reading hours on a pair of AA batteries
