calibre's ebook-convert does pdf and epub to some extent as well as some of those propriatory formats, as long as there is no drm on them.

the following command line utilities are all useful:

catdoc for .doc and I believe .rtf(and I believe catdoc also includes
commands to handle xls and ppt).

Granted, I know of no command line tools for dealing with ePub or
Kindle

Most of the formats mentioned in this message, including epub, are
covered by pandoc.  Nope, it doesn't do Kindle.  It also will not read
PDF files, but it can write them.  It's really the most useful and
universal document-converting tool out there, and I highly recommend it.
It can even go the other way and convert Markdown to various word
processor formats, and that's really useful.
