That way I have full control over appearance, and to me the biggest issue is readability.
One of the problems with LRB etc is that the small font seems too small, and the medium too large (particularly with wide margins).
The downside is, of course, file size - but since I've now added a 2Gb sd card for the flashing, I'd have to have an awful lot of books on the reader to even make a small dent in the memory available.
The 505 doesn't handle pdfs very well, but if the formatting is correct in the first place, that's not an issue.
What do others think?

You'll most defiantly get the best results creating a PDF that is made specifically for the 505, though how much better is very subjective. I've done this numerous times and tend to like the way PDF looks vs LRF. This is especially true if your document contains charts, tables, graphics.
I tend to create LRF because it is less effort to LRF file from a LIT/MOBI, where as the PDF files seem to take some time.
