I only download the LRFs of books that are low on my reading priorities list, that I don't want to spend the time reformatting).
I didn't realize you were a fellow heretic!

I have figured out a superb XeTeX (XeLaTeX, actually) setup for CJK characters, using a freely available font that supports over 70,000 CJK characters and looks great on the Sony Reader.

Drop me a PM if you are interested in getting your hands on that.
