Hi,

First, thanks for the excellent work on calibre!

I just discovered that news feeds in LRF format seem to reset the Reader (Sony PSR-505). As many have pointed out, two work-arounds are:

1) use EPUB, or
2) use LRF, but transfer the file to the Reader using Sony's software, which performs pre-pagination.

While both approaches have worked, I would really like to use LRF *and* avoid reliance on Sony's software. I prefer LRF because it justifies text, whereas EPUB currently does not. And because I've been blessed/cursed with GNU/Linux, using Sony's software really isn't much of an option for me.

Is there any way to add pre-pagination in calibre for LRF? Do we know how to it (but lack the manpower), or is there a fair amount of reverse-engineering that still needs to be done?

Thanks!
