However, many of these PG files are in HTML format and can be run through BD or Mobigen and turned into PRC files without any real problem. Just a matter of a couple of minutes effort. And the number of current Mobi titles is far greater than those available for the PRS. If you want a Sony, then go for a Sony... But I like my Cybook.

But why would you want to run them through either? Mobipocket (and therefore I assume the Bookeen reader) does a perfectly reasonable job of displaying html. There's no particular advantage to having a prc beyond possibly a smaller file size and a TOC. I prefer to have my ebooks in html as so I can convert them to epub at some point.

It's also fairly straightforward to get rid of the carriage returns in PG texts. Or to convert Lit to html. HTML is the new ascii.
