Sorry for the leading title....

EPUB sure seems to be catching hold as the defacto ebook reader format. It seems to be catching momentum for almost ALL the readers. I might have clapped my hands a few weeks ago, but now, I am not so sure. I've actuall read a couple books in EPUB format, and I have to say, I much prefer LRF on my Sony 505.

A couple points I don't like is the page numbers! I've read a couple other threads here, and think I understand why it is the way it is, but I still don't like it. I also can't seem to figure out how to change the font. It is VERY hard for me to read when compared to the font used in the LRF format.

If someone would like to give me a hint on how to fix either one of these, I might be lured back to using EPUB, but for now, I am solidly back to LRF, and am considering the Sony 300 over the Pocket Pro just to be able to keep LRF!

Thanksfully, Calibre handles them BOTH just fine.
