Good question, Patricia. Currently I still "bother" to create LRFs simply because the PRS505 has deficiencies in rendering epubs and because there are a lot of people, like our friend X here present, that prefer to have LRFs .

I WAS already thinking about giving up LRF and even Mobi creation because it is really simple to make mobis and LRFs from the epub files but I think that it would be quite rude to oblige people to convert their books to their preferred format themselves.

So as long as there are no bandwidth limits, I will provide those formats. See, we could tell our friends that want IMPs that they could make them easily themselves by downloading mobis and converting them with Nicks wonderful Mobi2imp, but we don't, do we?

I think of it simply as a service, I guess.
