As far as referencing page nos., paperbacks, hard covers, tall paperbacks all have different page nos. for the same book. So you have to reference the page no. to a particualar type of book, one could reference the Sony just as easily.
Worst of all are epubs downloaded from the library. Without a CALIBRE control of format, some are so-so, some are horrible.
One big negative of the lrfs is that the file size winds up being 10 times the size of epubs. Why is this? My brother's lrf's file sizes are only half mine although we have synchronized our CALIBRE settings and can't figure out why.
epubs are generally less than 400 kbs while my lrfs are generally 4,500 kbs. Any advice on reducing these lrf file sizes would be warmly welcomed.

Actually, page numbers for ePub have nothing to do with any paper version. The page numbers for the ePub are unique to the ePub. So really you are seeing where you are in the ePub. And the page numbers are also not tied to a font size like they are with LRF. Also, when the publisher uses an embedded font, it defiantly looks better then font used with LRF. Darker and true bold and true italics.
And ever since Reader Library came out and Sony switched to ePub, LRF pre-formatting was dropped from Reader Library. Calibre never had pre-formatting for LRF and never will.
