Okay, here's something to try, I think it works rather well.

Create your powerpoint file, making sure there is something of an artificial border around the slides (either a thin black rectangle or a background image or something). Then choose File > Save as and select jpg. Choose where you want to save it, and it will then ask you if you want to save all slides as .jpg > yes you do.

Now add all exported jpg files to a big zip archive, and rename the archive to somefile.cbz

Now use Calibre's comic2lrf with the "disable landscape image split" or -l option to convert the cbz file into a pretty Sony lrf file.

I found this works rather well - the reason you want a border around your slideshow is that comiclrf will do border detection and if there isn't any it will crop your images as close as possible which can give strange results.
