thanks for all these detailed posts ; this is a very interesting thread and it's great following your experiment.

I'm just starting Already Dead which I downloaded as ePub but I converted it to LRF. I was having an issue with the font sizes (needed something between M and L), and I wanted to try changing the font. LRF seems to give me what I need. Now S is at the right size for me.

you can customise the base font size for epubs with calibre as well ; you might find that by adding a size there you could get the result you want.

The page turns are soooo slooow. I took the book off the SD card and put it in the device memory but it's still slow. Also, it stays at the one font size (which works for me but still...). What did I do wrong?

i can't confirm since i read almost no lrf files and never convert to lrf myself, but i've heard that lrf with embedded fonts is notoriously S...L...O...W... you can embed fonts in epub files too though and even just add some css to your epub to tell it to use fonts stored in the memory of your device ; see
this thread for detailed instructions (and screen caps !) if you haven't tried it. i use either fontin or gentium for all my epubs, now. and it's
fast.
