2- I also wanted to know if these files host the entire book in text format, or if it has lettertypes, sizes, and pictures inside?
I see most .LRF files range between 700kb and 4MB per file.
3- How do I upload them to the Sony PSR-505? Is there a special directory somewhere to put them,or do they need to be processed via some convertor?
Thank you.

I haven't put any LRF files from here on my Sony but here are my answers (Windows based because I use Windows):
(1) If someone posts an LRF on here I would expect the Sony to be able to read it without any problem
(2) Unless otherwise stated they will contain the whole book - including all required fonts and pictures
(3) Personally I use the Sony Library software that came with my reader (also available from the Sony site too). If you have your reader connected to your computer when running this software then you should be able to just drag the file from a Windows Explorer window onto the reader 'icon' on the left hand side of the Library window. Give it a few seconds to transfer and then 'eject' your reader using the little 'eject' icon next to the reader icon in the list.
When you next use your reader the file should be there, available to read.
I'm a geek, nerd, and techhead so I figured this out all on my own... I was actually very suprised that the instructions for day to day use of the Reader weren't included in a paper manual - however I believe there is a manual on the reader itself but I don't how useful that is.
Hope this helps,
Terry.
