Just finished Already Dead in ePub using the font hack the Zelda linked me to (loved this book and would love another one with the lead character).

I loved the flexibility of being able to read it with the fontin font. One thing I noticed was that occasionally I would still have slow page turns. For maybe 10 pages in a row several times through out the book, I would see "formatting" during a page turn. I could see the new page under the "formatting" symbol but it still made the page turn 2 seconds or so long (about as slow as the embedded font LRF version of the book). The book was in the main memory. I removed the SD card with other books (only 2 books in the main memory) but I would still get the "formatting" symbol. I'm not sure what to do about this.

I used PRSPlus to make one other change. Now while reading the book I can press the center of the joypad to page forward. I did this because I received my M-Edge cover for the 505 and the corner strap was kind of in my way, even though the cover doesn't actually block any keys. I like this much better than the tiny buttons or the right arrow on the joypad. I still prefer the page buttons on the K2. They are in a more comfortable position for my thumbs and I don't have to press as hard to turn a page.
