Usually libprs500 is all you need. But for comics or technical books with a lot of preformatted content, tables, graphics usually programs like pdflrf or rasterfarian are much better.

It's called BBeB and the file extension is lrf. (lrs for the source format) Take a look
here for an explanation of the BBeB format used by the reader.

While using libprs500 the pages will be reformatted according to the font size, exisiting page breaks etc. So usually you will get a different number of pages in the resulting lrf-file than in the original pdf. Font family, font size, page- and line breaks are adjustable via the different options in libprs500. Using pdflrf or rasterfarian you will get an image based ebook for your reader. Font sizes and page breaks are indirectly adjustable through different options like target page orientation, border cropping, page splitting/joining, fit to page width, fit to page height and so on.

Well you will get problems when you want to convert pdf files using drm or password protected pdf files to lrf-files. The solution how to handle such pdf files is obvious.

If you are using libprs500 there is no need to access the sd card directly because the program allows you to sync your books with the reader.
I do only access the reader or the sd card directly if i want to place content which isn't managed in my ebook-library by libprs500. Maybe one time in a week or so...
