I like using BD for creating LRFs. No coding knowledge is required. I think Sigil is almost there for ePub but then ePub is too slow (opening TOC, changing font size) on my 505 so there is no point.

1. I disagree
2. This is true. But there is always hope that Sony will update ADE in the 500, 505, 300, 700, & 600 since ADE in the 900 is of newer design.
Actually, going to the external ToC is quite fast. The original problem was something created by Calibre whihc as now been fixed. However, if you are using Reader Library or Calibre to move LRF to a 505, then opening the LRF (the first time) will be slow as the 505 has to paginate it. Then if you want to change the text size from there, it's again the need for pagination. Change the text size yet again and another pagination is in order.
According to others, using Reader Library causes the pagination already done with LRF to be lost. So it will once again be slow as it repaginates all over again.
Now, if you use eBook Library to manage content, then the pagination will be done for you and stay done. But then you lose access to the Sony eBookstore.
This is yet one more thing. Because embedding a font in ePub is easy to do, it gives me a better reading experience as I can use the font of my choice (usually Fontin). And because Fontin is an easier to read font, I can get more text per page with ePub then LRF.
