Yeah, it does ... if you can get it to run.
Most devices (read: all of the current ones) are going to have the sort of trouble you're describing. The main root of it is that PDF doesn't like to play well with others.
A note on libprs500: it seems that a
lot of folks are getting much more satisfactory results out of that app than what you're clearly getting. That suggests to me that there's something different between what you're doing with it than what others are doing. Exploring that may help you address what you're running into. Assuming, of course, that the problem isn't just PDF related.
From what you're saying, it sounds like the files you're starting with may have some particularly funky formatting issues that aren't showing up in Word (or whatever) but that are throwing your actual conversions off.
Since you clearly have a need for better PDF support, the iLiad might be a better fit for you. It's not perfect for PDF, by any means, but it does a reasonably good job with displaying them natively, owing to its larger display. The iLiad forums have a good bit of discussion along those lines, to give you a better feel for what it can and can't do.
Oh, yeah, to address a question you had above about
BookDesigner that I don't think anyone's answered: there's not a "save to LRF" type of operation, to make an LRF you use the "Generate LRF" button in the toolbar. It' looks like the funky "AE" symbol that's on the PRS500 (but not on the 505). If you hover your mouse over the toolbar buttons you'll see the help pop-up with text along those lines. There's a great tutorial posted
here that might be of help to you, as well.
