Actually, I forgot to post my further results, so thank you for the reminder.

I wanted to see if converting to LRF would make a file that would read faster on the 700 than the EPUB. I shut down all extraneous programs on my computer and ran any2lrf from the command line on the epub version (in which the extraction to html was already done). Sucker ran for over 40 hours, saying it was "rationalizing font sizes." The pagefile was approaching 2 GB. I finally pulled the plug and stopped it so that I could use my computer again.

It still might be possible, if someone with a more powerful computer wanted to buy the book and try it. But it defeated my machine.

So I still don't know if a LRF version would work better than the EPUB version, which works but is so slow that in practice I doubt I'll ever use it.
