Up until now I did not bother with LRF files, because I strongly dislike proprietary formats and because I felt like rtf files were "the path of the least resistance". I have also developed some scripts, macros and tricks for rtf files while I was formatting books for my previous reader - Cassiopeia A-20
I can quickly write and debug macro for Vim and macro for OpenOffice.org . I even used to create rtf files and even "pocket word files" (in reality a slightly modified rtf file) "by hand" in an plain text editor (Vim) using a few scripts and templates.
I will definitely try playing with LRF files. The problem is all the tools that I have tried for creating LRF files have default settings that I dislike. Like large margins, serif font, and ... shudder ... full justification. I really prefer jagged right edge of text to uneven spaces between words, especially then there are too few words on a line - like when you view text on a 6" screen.
