*bump*

Well, I have explored the PDF option exhaustively over the past two weekends (using HTMLDOC and iText) and have to conclude that PDF is not the way to go.

The main deal-breaker for me is that PDF text looks too faint and "skinny" on the Reader display, especially with serif fonts. I tried many font and weight combinations (regular, bold, semi-bold) and can't find a really satisfying setting.

LRF files, OTOH, look great, so that's the option I'm going to explore next. Hopefully Sony will release the proper BBeB specs soon.
