I am a newcomer to the ebook scene and my PRS505 is my first reader. Since I am starting from scratch with books from the Baen Free Library, I was wondering...

Do I want to choose .epub or .lrf for these non-DRM books and why?

Will there be formatting differences on the 505 between these books given they are from a single source? Page flow or performance issues?

I certainly intend to keep the Sony a good while, but if it explodes in a year or so out of warranty and I end up with a different reader, I cannot guarantee it will be a Sony. I would like to get my library format sorted now while it is still small.

Thanks in advance for the advice.
