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.

usually, that is a sign of a badly-made epub, bad (not clean) xhtml code. if i'm feeling courageous i sometimes will open it in sigil and strip out all the extraneous junk (it's a bit horrifying all the crap that can end up in there).

Per the PRSPlus site.

(path to custom css is: internal memory /database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css)

I already had my fontin css file saved as a txt file. I just renamed a copy as "style.css" and droped it in the PRSPlus/epub/ folder. I already had a fonts folder per Zelada's instructions. I then downloaded a book from Feedbooks and moved it directly onto the 505 without every opening Calibre. It worked!

Now does anyone know how I would add the border parameter to my css file?

@font-face {
  font-family: "Fontin";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Regular.ttf);
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "Fontin";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: normal;
  src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Bold.ttf);
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "Fontin";
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin-Italic.ttf);
}

@font-face {
  font-family: "Fontin Sans";
  font-weight: bold;
  font-style: italic;
  src: url(res:///Data/fonts/Fontin_Sans_BI.otf);
}

body {
  font-family: "Fontin", serif;
}

nice !!! i haven't checked lately, did anybody confirm if this hack will work with a 600 and / or 700 ?

as jon said, you can extract the context files from the epub and use dreamweaver (or, in fact, any text or code editor, including something as basic as notepad). one warning : i used dreamweaver before sigil appeared on the scene, and when it's working on long-ish text flows it can be maddeningly S..L..O..W. unless you need auto-completing code-hints or similar i recommend you do most of your code editing in sigil, if you can. it's much faster.
