So I finally gave in and bought the reader (505) and now I'm trying to get all my HTML formatted content on it and going insane. libprs keeps hanging on me, but I'll deal with that later. The real problem is, using Book Designer or html2lrf, the output is RIGHT JUSTIFIED, and my content seems to have a lot of short sentences, so half the time I'm reading half a screen of text on the right! And I looked and it seems that's just a poor design decision from Sony, so...

Is there a good reason why converting to LRF is better than converting to RTF for docs that end up being 500k to 2M or so in RTF files? The RTF files certainly seem to look a lot better, but what functionality on the reader am I going to loose?

Thanks
