There are many ebooks on these topics, and even more available information on the Internet, but they all "convert" funny, and I don't need them to use wireless since I do my own book management. Lately I have found that just using plain old txt format is the most useful since I can quickly remove sections of gibberish leaving a text that works well with the text to voice system. For me simplicity is better since it puts me in control of its quality. Tools like 'pdftotxt' work just fine for me.
