I don't have all of the answers to your questions but I will tell what I think I know. First, problem is the format that you are using to store your work in, Word Perfect. By in large the mobile book readers do not support Word Perfect but instead they will support epub and pdf. To the best of my knowledge Word Perfect does not support either of those formats. Thus you will need to download and install a new software suite that will support one of the two formats. There is no reason for your organization to shell out anything additional in dollars to support your mobile sermons so I would recommend Open Office - which incently is free and supports PDF.

Second, I know limited things about the Sony PRS readers so I am not going to go into depth about them instead I am going to leave that to other forum members that know more than I. Second, download and install Calibre which will pick up that PDF sermon that you wrote and provide for the table of contents that you spoke of (again I know nothing about Calibre thus wil not speak to it) and will take care of uploading the sermon to your reader.

I know that this requires adjustment on your part but one of the major benefits is that Open Office (openoffice.org) supports 101 different langueges including: english, spanish, bulgarian, tagalong and africans so its litteraly impossible that you would not be able to communicate your sermons to someone. The worst thing that might happen is you might have to get a cheap reader such as a Kobo or a Libra Pro to display your sermons in another languege for someone that does not speak english or display your sermons on a digital overhead projector in what ever languege the person speaks so that while you deliver your sermons in your languege that person can read your sermons in what ever languege they speak (and again, not being able to speak that person's langeuge is not possible.) I have been told that Open Office is involved in middle east peace talks becuase its the only one that can speak hebrew, yiddish and arbaic.
