Online conversion
Related to all of this, I recently found this web site, which claims to allow conversion between many different formats. No ebook formats were listed, however (PDF doesn't count). I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know the quality of the conversions.

Converting should come under "Fair Usage" just as it does with movies and music. One should only run afoul if giving a copy, converted or not to someone else.

If you read the start of the thread you'll see that "converting for the purpose of reposting" was the original question. If a book has a CC licence saying "no derived works", is it permissible to convert to a different format without the author's permission?

I think it hangs on the definition of "derived works." I wouldn't consider a new file format to be a "derived work," but I'm not a lawyer (in any country).
