[LMB] OT: question about Baen book dowloads

When I download some books from Baen, either from the Free Library or my 
little Liaden orgy, I discover that when I download them using the format 
for Palm Pilot as my choice, that the book show up on my Tungsten with all 
the html markings written out.

I find this annoying, frankly. I am tempted to pull them into Word (which 
reads HTML just fine), save as a word document, and read them as word 
documents instead.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is anybody else having this problem? (I use 
the prc format for e-reader because I like tapping the bottom of the screen 
to go to the next page. But with say, I DARE, there's so much HTML garbage 
it's almost unreadable. My machine is the Palm Tungsten E2).

Thanks!
