I've already loaded a couple of short .rtf's to the PRS-505 just by direct Windows folder-to-folder copying. However the page widths and justification etc don't come across well.

In a perfect world someone might answer my original questions by recommending "start with .xxx files (they're really easy to edit), convert them to the Sony-readable .yyy format using the well-known ZZZ software package. The reasons for these recommendations are .... ". But as I suspect I'm finding through experimentation things are never that simple!

If you're just typing it up in Word, it's pretty straightforward. You can grab bookdesigner (a free program you can find here at MR), load it, then convert to LRF (in my opinion the best format for the Sony). There's some good tutorials in the workshop. It would take all of a few minutes to go from a word doc to LRF.
