The same HTML file looks different on a Sony PRS-505 depending on whether you convert to LRF or EPUB. In particular:-
You are seeing differences because of a couple of things:

1) LRF and EPUB have different capabilities. While EPUB is pretty much compatible with HTML, LRF was designed specifically for Sony's readers. There is very large overlap between what the two formats are capable of, they are not identical.

2) Different software draws LRF and EPUB. Sony wrote the software that renders LRF to the screen, while Adobe wrote the software that renders EPUB.
