Can you clarify a little bit more? I did do font hack on 505 and I do like LRF and I see italics and bold and other stuff when I load ebooks onto it in that format. I use calibre to convert my ebooks to LRF , and pages load fast.
I also have some ebooks in epub format too and they seem to work fine too. Are you saying that epub is better than LRF because there is no difference in load up times/format-zoom time/ page turns between the 2 formats on the 505. I have all my ebooks saved in seperate location so LRF is just used for the 505. I went with LRF format because others seem to suggest it was the best format for 505 and fastest to load stuff, is that wrong? You seem to suggest epub is better in every way, am I hearing you correctly?
What directory do you place your fonts in, I have a lot of them, so if you come back and say 'go epub" and LRF doesn't offer any advantages over epub I'll have to gather up my fonts and start a directory! I'm trying to get maximum battery life out the 505 and that is why I went with LRF format (because others seemed to say they experienced longer zoom formatting times and page formatting times with epub).
