Yes, most of the books i read are at least between 800 and 1500 pages. With LRF i use 10pt base, with ePub 13pt which seems to result in the same font size on the reader. Currently i'm reading a book with ~1100 pages and the ePub works well. (unfortunately a book in german, formatted by me, the ePub was created with Calibre: Kampf um Rom).

I'm not sure if the customized font on my reader could have an positive impact on the performance of the ePub.
I followed vallorics font tutorial and use the Droid font instead of the default one.
