Just a little reminder: The bigger PG Epubs won't work on Sony Reader because the PG Epubs aren't split up to respect the 300kb size limit of the reader. Can that only be considered an accident, then?

Nothing like that in sight as far as Mobis are concerned (works on Kindles, BeBooks, Cybooks, you name it)
