The most significant of which is the increased loss of edge sharpness on the characters. Try rendering my sample pages with it and observe what happens to the verse numbers, particularly on pages 3 & 4.
BTW if you are happy, I have no problem with that.

Yes. I looked at the PDF file and LRF file converted using PDFLRF on my PRS-505. I agree it seems to lose edge sharpness so it can be a problem if you care about clean-edged fonts. However, again, I would rather have cleaner background and less ghosting at the sacrifice of font sharpness. Maybe I am not very sensitive about fonts after all.
Like you said, if it works for you, it is fine. My point is that different people have different preferences/priorities over various factors affecting the looks of documents such as fonts, background color, and so on. PDF may be better than or as good as LRF to you but not to someone like me.
