2.) I've read five books already on the new reader, (Stephen White - great author), and they were all in txt format. The text comes through fine - but there isn't any formatting.

So my second question is ... What format (aside from lrf) - is best to use with the Sony 505? rtf or doc? (I have some ebooks saved that are in html format, and I'm wondering what format I should convert to).
Separate txt and jpg files cannot be recognized as a single ebook by a reading device.
Usually, there isn't any formatting in txt files.

Simple roadmap:
1) Try to format your text with a simple tool like a word processor.
2) Save the output as rtf or html.
3) Use Calibre (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Calibre) a great free tool developed by Kovid Goyal to convert your file to a format that your PRS supports (lrf or ePub).
