I've just been using Calibre to get everything converted to LRF. You were absolutely right. I do not need that Sony software for anything. Even a 3000+ page book only took about 10-15 seconds to "repaginate" itself on the reader. I can certainly deal with that.
That PRSCustomizer software is amazing as well. I should head over into that thread and thank the developer. I see he is quite active on the forum.
Again, thank you Bob. PRS-505 + Calibre seems to be a match made in geek heaven!
Most sincerely,

I'm using Book Designer, to convert books. It is really handy for anything but PDF I find, because it gives the opportunity to edit/correct books before they get into the LRF format.
It's only when you want your books to be 'perfect' though...
I'd suggest not to put the internal memory of the reader completely full to the brim, but leave about 5 to 10MB of the internal flash available at all times!
I've noted the reader can crash and reboot multiple times if it does not have sufficient space available.
I would also suggest to use small SD cards (like 64MB to 512MB).
Or at least I mean, to only use that amount of space for books on an SD card.
Anything from 1GB up (hosting more than 1200-1500 books) will make the reader very slow.
I use a 4GB card, and believe me, the reader starts acting all weird when having more than 1,5GB of books on it.
Also depending on the books, most LRF's that are books are below 5MB/book.
If they are comic books(or contain lots of pictures), they can easily reach higher than 10MB/book.
Enjoy your reader!
Also, you can find even more books on this forum and on gutenberg.org!
