Hmm I have to add a features list to the wiki at some point:

Initially libprs500 started out as a file transfer tool to avoid having to use the connect s/w which is especially important for people who dont use windows. However, it has since evolved to book an ebook library management application. It maintains a searchable database of your ebooks. The database is capable of storing each logical book in various ebook formats, and it knows enough to edit/read the metadata from various ebbok formats. Eventually it will have support for automatic conversion from txt/html -> lrf.

Coming to the converter subsystem. As a first step it will support common CSS properties, including font sizes/weights/styles. It's almost at that point already. Then I will add support for Image blocks and then support for importing html for links to external files.

Support for inline images and tables will be on a longer timescale.

The important thing is that all my tools are GPLed and designed to be cross platform from the start.
