I'd suggest the following order

ePub (although the 505 and 700 read this natively anyway)
Microsoft lit
HTML (unless generated from MS Word)
Mobipocket
RTF (preferably not from MS Word)
HTML from MS Word

Is there a 'best format' for converting to LRF?
Would I be better off downloading html files, rtf files,? pdf files? etc. files? knowing that I can convert them properly to use on my Sony 505? (I realize that I'm best off downloading LRF files, but often can't find what I want to read in that format already.)

I've already installed Calibre, Sony's software, and Book Designer. Do I need anything else?
Thanks
