Comic to lrf and ebup

Hi,

I recently got a PRS-505 and I begin reading comics on it. I know that the format preferred by Sony is the lrf format, but that you said that epub is better and will be the next format.

So I tried to convert a comic in epub and lrf and send it to the device. First of all, changing page in the epub format take longer. Secondly, the image look worse. I tried to open them in calibre internal viewer. You can see that the image are not render the same way. I attach the two viewer image so you can see (Left is epub, right is lrf).

For the time to change page, is not so a big difference, I can live with it. It's probably the reader that is made principaly for lrf. For the image, small text become unreadable in epub. Is the conversion different, or is it the viewer that interpret it differently? Should I continue to convert is lrf to have better result or is there an option I haven't seen?

Thanks

Edit: Forget to say I use calibre 0.6.6 on ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) in 32bits.
