My point is, ePUB is a format, not a program, you can use ePUB without using ADE.
I haven't seen a hack that puts a superior epub renderer on a PRS-505, but perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough. On my computer, there's no point as I can view PDFs of even A4 size quite comfortably.

I believe I would be more personally tolerant and accepting if I used mobile phones or watch faces to read my books. Since I stick to PCs, books, and my Sony, I've no reason to bother with those others, and I'm not so very desperate to constantly read that I must have [mediocre] reading functionality on all my gadgets.

As far as your script...I don't plan to play with it much, since I can just make PDFs from scratch and be sure of the output. It's a hassle, but compared with the alternative of rummaging through and fixing the CSS files, then running a script and hoping for the best, it's not too bad.
