I've generated a few e-pub files from Pages (Apple Software). They are readable on the software "Reader for Mac". but when "synced" onto the PRS-505 all that shows is a single page entry with a page error message. The file 450Kb is shown as loaded onto the reader but the device can't display it!

I then tried (re)converting from (Mac) EPUB in Calibre to its version of EPUB this loads all the pages but font size is minimised and cannot be changed despite reader showing change from S-M-L.

Not a cry for help anymore just a tip, if you have a Sony PRS 505 forget E-Pub from Mac or Calibre; use PDF's they seem to work fine.
