I have only been using my 505 since February, but I have bought almost exclusively ePubs, and I still don't really understand what the objections over ePubs are. "Unreadable" is just plain wrong. It is true they are not fully justified, and the page number is superimposed (in a smaller font) sometimes over the text which is displayed in a slightly greyer tone than normal. I find neither a problem, and have yet to discover a word that has been made illegible by the page number issue.

I find ADE on my Mac slightly better in terms of presentation, but that does have the advantage of a 24" screen. After that, Sony wins over every other ePub renderer I've tried.

My one LRX (not available in ePub) actually looks a bit "cheap". The font is different, the line spacing is not quite so tight. Those are just personal preferences, but I cannot accept that ePubs are "unreadable"
