Unfortunately (or fortunately depending how you look at it) this experiment worked all right, but my .pdf files don't format as slick as .lrf files. A couple of examples:
(1) The [i] Info screen for .lrf contains information that I don't know how to give the PRS-505 with a .pdf . Perhaps there's some PDF info I don't know about? This information is important because ... you know .. it's about me! 
(2) The name of the work dependably shows up in the upper-right corner in the .lrf format on all pages. With a .pdf file, it's hard to predict what's going to happen.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated! Perhaps there is a conversion manual I don't know about??
Cheers!

If it's writing you wish to sell then Smashwords is probably your best bet
http://www.smashwords.com they cater for all devices and have an 20/80% revenue split in favour of the author.
If its just to get your work out there or make it available you can't do any better than Feedbooks IMHO
http://www.feedbooks.com excellent creation tools, brilliant layout, easy to use, I have my writing posted there
One thing; PDF is a rubbish format for almost any kind of e-device reading, it doesn't reflow properly and, well, it's just a headache all around. LRF is the unencrypted version of Sony's proprietory LRX format, and I don't have much truck with it, because I prefer ePub (the industry ebook standad) which you can learn heaps about here at MR.
I hope that I've been some help
Oh, and welcome to MobileRead before I forget
