Harry, I was with you 100% on RTF, for a while. Then I tried a few of the conversion tools. I fact I gathered all I could (and that led to the updating of the Wiki so some good came from the effort.) I still use a lot of the ABC Amber products to extract text from multiple sources as I did in the RTF days. I used Stingo's Word macro for formatting the files in RTF.

Now RTF in the Reader does not support graphics. OK, minor point as I can load the graphics if I need them as jpg or gif files. One book I downloaded was Steve Jordan's Lambs Hide, Tigers Seek (great book by the way.) The file was 5.6 Meg on hard disk and on the Reader. I ran the file through Book Designer at default settings and the resultant lrf file was 416 k and that included adding back in the cover art for the book.
