Seems reasonable to me to freeze the code for LRF since Sony is moving away form this format.

I hate that bug myself, but have moved my library to epub.

I preferred it because Calibre let me put headers up with the book title and author. I hacked the 505 using PRScustomizer to remove full justification. I have older eyes and bigger fonts with full justification was too ugly.

It is always nice to give folks a heads up but your method was a little mean spirited.

Finally after all those tears on the pillow your true question.

tyche has it right just convert the file to html and clean it up a little. If you don't want to use convertlit then follow shellshock's adive below and maybe a little of his attitude as well.

I think that is the best that we can reasonably expect, in fact I'm very grateful to Kovid et al that it is possible at all. Without Calibre, format shifting would probably be a lot more difficult, especially considering the number of formats out there.
