Is there a format that will run quickly, and that images will come through? I expect images to run slowly, I just want the text to load quickly.
Although I am given to understand that ePub is the greatest eBook file format ever, I found that on my PRS-505 it is both slow as hell and looks terrible to boot too.

LRFs work pretty good, and custom Sony Reader PDFs do too (which you can get from places like http://manybooks.net/ and http://feedbooks.com/) unless you want to change around your font sizes to fit the lighting / your mood.
