Sony's RTF reading doesn't include images, and the font options are limited to the defaults (serif, sans serif, monospace). It doesn't support linking or a TOC (I believe; it's been a long time since I tried anything more than basic formatting options). And as you mentioned, epub is condensed; it has smaller filesizes, especially for anything with complex formatting.
That said, I read a lot of RTFs on my Sony. I set the body text font size to 14 pt, line spacing to 1.2, and indent paragraphs .25" for first lines. I have to remember to turn off the orphan line settings, or I wind up with a lot of pages with whitespace at the bottom; I'd rather deal with a single line starting a paragraph than a half-inch of unused space on the screen. It does acknowledge page breaks, so I use those at chapter breaks. Works fine for novels; wouldn't work for anything I'd want for research.
