I know all about the lit book converters. However, I have not found one yet that is not messy. I have converted lit books to many formats and although all the text is there, the final result just looks messy when read on my PRS500.

I'm not sure what you meant by that, but i've been reading quite a lot of PDF converted books on my Kindle.

The conversion is close to perfect.

I've tried some PDF conversions using Mobipocket and they've come out terrible. A lot of PF does not convert well. I'm not saying they are all terrible, but you cannot think most will be OK.

Yep. I've had some look great and others be pretty funky. Even some that were all text came out with oddly varying font sizes. I think it depends more on the original PDF than the converter.
