I just hated it recalculating page numbers every font change and occasionally rebooting because it ran out of memory during re-pagination. Due to this I switched to ePub so all my books could be easily moved to most any other reader.
The original Sony Reader software actually pre-calculated prior to transferring to your Reader. So font size changes didn't invoke the spinning arrows of death! That changed, though, when they moved to the current version of the Software.

Back in the day, I actually had a Mac program that mounted my PRS-500 and allowed copying... and thus no need for a Windows Parallels run. But then font changes caused the dreaded spinning arrows. I chose to boot parallels rather than suffer that fate! Which is saying a lot for a Mac guy!!
