The same file (converted to lrf from html) - is now 1405 pgs!
Does this huge difference in page count sound right?
(Aren't epub and lrf both compressed files?)
My 505 firmware is v 1.1.01.25200. It's the same one that was installed when I bought the reader in July 2009.
Is there a newer version firmware, and it it worth updating?
Thanks for the help!

Did you hack your reader to add in a clock? If you did, then you've added in a buggy hack that causes the page numbers for ePub to not be properly displayed. You are supposed to get page numbers like 1, 1-2, 2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 7, 8 etc... The only hack for the 505 that now gives you a clock and proper page numbers is PRS+.
As for the LRF having many more page numbers, the reason is that Calibre's conversion to LRF adds extra line spacing to every single line in the LRF. It's so you don't notice the bug in the LRF code where the line between paragraphs is larger then it should be for two paragraphs where the style changes. Like the first paragraph of a book that has no indent and then the next one does have an indent. The line spacing between them is more then it should be and to make it not look too big, all the lines look like that.
What you can try is to convert the ePub to ePub and see if that fixes it. It's possible it might as maybe the ePub was created with an older Calibre and the courrent will fix whatever is wrong.
