I understand the point about font size issues. I also really hate the fact that my PRS-650 doesn't have a size between Small and Medium.

You can fix that either by reconverting the EPUB with a custom CSS, *OR* by converting to LRF.

In fact with very little work, you can embed custom fonts into your EPUBs and have any type face and font size you want.

I recognize that some prefer converting to LRF to improve formatting, but like you, I still use EBUB as my main format, in my case because I like the flexibility that EPUB gives to read on multiple devices.

Also, I am not sure LRF will still be around in 5 years, and would hate to have to reconvert my entire library.
