I would like to share an experiment, as it might help someone with the same problem.

The Pragmatic Programmers bookstore started offering it's ebooks in MOBI and EPUB in addition to PDFs.

I have quite a few books from then, but I was never able to read then in my Sony due to PDF formatting issues, so the moment I realized there were new formats available I downloaded EPUB versions and moved to the device using calibre.

Everything was fine, including text flow and different font sizes, except source code samples - they were flowing to the right out of the screen (not wrapping to the next line), and I couldn't read the end of most lines, but I found a workaround:

- I imported the EPUB and transferred again to the device using Sony's application - no effect

- I used calibre to convert from EPUB to LRF. The resulting file was much larger (2.8MB to 18MB). I transfered to the device using calibre, but couldn't open the book - after 30 minutes on the initial formatting screen I reset the device

- I imported the converted LRF file from calibre to Sony eBook Library, and used it to transfer the same file to the device. It took about 5 minutes to transfer, but it worked.

The book is opening normally on the device, without delays, and long lines like programming source code are wrapped to the next line, as it should be.

It seems that the complementary functions of calibre and Sony application did the job. calibre converted it to LRF and Sony's application reformatted it correctly before sending to the device, as already mentioned in other threads.
