If you have the choice, I would stay away from PDFs, even with pdflrf. It works and I use it all the time but it's not ideal. I think HTML is likey your best choice particularly if there are images, italics, and special characters. I mainly use Book Designer with HTMLs. Although BD is not a particularly intuitive program to use, it is versatile, does the job, and is free. If there are no images or special characters to deal with, I prefer to use an RTF file and just use the Sony software to convert it in order to save me from the hassle of BD. I'm not sure what others would say.
