Again, it works great, unless I try to change the font size. The file really isn't that big (only 1.6 mb) so I don't know what's going on with my reader.
A few months ago, I tried various things to make it work with a larger font size but so far no go. As I said earlier it isn't really a big deal--just something that bugs me now.
If I get some time today, I'll try your suggestion of switching sizes when it's hooked up to AC and report back here.

I tried the same file as you mentioned there. zooming to different fontsizes works fine with me.
Here's what I did:
0- Delete the book from the internal memory of the Sony reader, disconnect the cable (Sony reader will refresh it's content table).
1- I downloaded the file, and saved it to my HD.
2- I went to the file in explorer, and copied it to "e:\database\media\books\" in explorer. No Sony program needed. ("e:\" stands for the drive of my Reader.)
3- I check my diskspace (the Sony Reader needs at least 5-10MB of free diskspace.
4- go to the book, open it to page 1.
5- set the fontsize
setting the fontsize for the first time on a book with the reader can take up some time, but once it has been successfully done, changing fontsize goes about as fast as flipping a page (less then 1sec).
I told you about the AC, because in some cases when the battery is near empty, you'll get errors, as well as when there's no sufficient freespace available on the device's internal memory.
If you follow the same steps as me above,you should get the same results, unless there's a difference between your Sony reader and mine (Silver PRS-505).
So I'd suggest not using Sony software.
The version you use should not balast your reader.
If you want to, check out one of my versions of the KJV, which has hyperlinks to chapters, that will allow you to faster find books and chapters in the bible. The version you use needs a lot of guesswork as to where an exact verse can be found.
The internal version should be the same (King James Version).
So far I haven't gotten any feedback yet, so the more users use it, the more feedback I get, and hopefully can use in newer versions!
