OK, finally, the output of PDFRead appears on the Sony as it does on the "other" devices!!!! This
winning file was produced by calibre's html2epub and the html and images from PDFRead (without modification!).

The only flaw was the left margin was to wide and pushed the text off of the right side truncating the words.
But the fonts were beautiful, it brought  to me eyes.

The html only has a 2px margin, so maybe I should use a zero margin? Was this on every page, since, if not, then that white margin is just the aspect ratio holding back the width from going out to the margin (see page 3 of the converted bierig.pdf). This is the html file used:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>bierig - epub - MinFilter3 - 500DPI</title>
<meta name="author" content="bierig.pdf">
<meta name="genre" content="Test">
<meta name="category" content="Test">
<meta name="generator" content="PDFRead v1.8.2b">
<style>p {text-indent:0em; margin-left:2px; margin-right:2px; margin-top:0em; margin-bottom:0em; text-align:none}</style>
</head>

Detail of Files
Neither OEBPS worked, both gave me a Warning error.
|
These were created by zipping the html and images and converting the .zip using the calibre GUI. I don't know why it didn't work. I attach the .zip file I used in case someone else wants to try it (Kovid?).

It seems like you used different settings for each file as there was quite a lot of variance
The calibre-bierig-MinFilter-3-500-1-5-583x753.epub had the image inverted so no need to comment on how bad the imaged looked... wait I guess I did comment on it.
The LRF files looked quite different the 583 look better. There looked to be some blur/smooth on this version that softened the font's edges
|
Yes, just ignore those 583x783 files as I did hand edit them to reduce the max size but the imaging software converted them to 256 colors so I had to reduce them back to 8 colors manually.
Again, they are a non-issue so just scrap them;
not what PDFRead would produce! BTW, they were smoothed in the resize process so that's why they appear softer/blurred.

Score
Scale of 1-10
10 584x754 EPUB
0 583x753 EPUB
- OEBPS (couldn't view)
7 583x753 LRF
4 584x754 LRF

Well, that settles it!
For the Sony, PDFRead conversions from .pdf to .epub achieve the best results (using calibre's html2epub command line program!!!)!
It would appear that the .lrf version created by
html2lrf or
PDFRead BOTH suffer from the same affliction--poor rendering on the Sony hardware reader despite looking good in the software viewer!
