I notice several eBook vendors still offer books in the LRF format. Why is that? I was under the impression that Sony offered firmware upgrades for their pre-ePub readers.

As a relative newcomer to serious eBook reading and a PRS-300 user, is there some benefit to LRF that I don't know about? I've been reluctant to PAY for any books in LRF format, but I have downloaded a few freebies and converted some to LRF and I don't see any difference between the 2 formats. Although I have noticed that some LRF files seem to take FOREVER to change text size and to initialize upon first loading to the PRS-300. (But curiously, not ALL)

Is there any reason, at this point in time, to consider LRF eBooks if something else is available?
