I'm not sure how fast LRF with embedded fonts would be on the newer faster Readers. But it probably is still slower then then ePub.

LRF.. if you ever get a device that reads eBooks and it's not from Sony, LRF will need to be converted. Most Readers/computer/tablets/iPhone/Android can handle ePub.
I don't care about embedded fonts. I use built-in fonts and more than happy with them.
I didn't know that with the new Reader Library the reader will have to recalculate everything on its own. I used to think that Sony s/w does it for the reader.
Regarding the footers, horses for courses.
