Just reporting my findings, which I admit should have been obvious from the beginning - The Sony Reader requires LRF files so anything more than a "small" set of web pages will not work as all the pages get saved to ONE FILE (tested with kovidgoyal's converter and then viewer - viewer dies in the middle of the only 10MB file - the actual webpage is more than 70MB but the converter stopped at 10MB).

Putting it simply the LRF file will be too big for the Sony Reader to handle.

So in my view the Sony Reader is totally inadequate for reading webpages (unless they are very very small) based on its IMHO flawed design concept - the atrocious LRF files - end of story. This means the boys at Sony never thought about webpages being used on an ebook reader!!!

Words utterly fail me.

Does the Hanlin V3 with its native HTML support enable links in the webpages?? (I doubt it but asking anyway).

Seems no ebook actually supports webpages just a single webpage at a time?!

I must be wrong....tell me I am wrong!!!!!!!
