   I do a fair bit of that at times (Windows) and have never had a problem   
   with the online services I use, but there are not many you can get   
   and install on your own computer, and the couple I saw were Trial   
   versions, meaning who knows what? Limited time or functions?   
      
   That said, I probably don't have to convert most of them if I didn't   
   prefer to save everything as ePub. I have readers on my Android Phone,   
   and Tablet, eReader and Windows Laptop that can handle most formats -   
   Mobi, ePub, PDF and a few others.   
      
   Looking online it looks like PDFTK does have a Windows version   
   available through Softonic though.
