And here's some official confirmation from the Fictionwise yahoo group:

Hello all,

Yes it's true ... Fictionwise is in the process of adding Sony Reader (.LRF) as the eleventh
MultiFormat download option.

These native files use the entire feature set of the Sony Reader PRS-500, including cover images,
inline images, thumbnail images, metadata in the 'Info' section, linked table of contents (if
supplied with the original), and ... (drum roll) ... you can change the font size.

If you have a Sony Reader and you're interested in seeing the full capability of our new .lrf
files, I recommend any of the four Dell magazines (Analog, Asimov's, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ellery
Queen) and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.

We're just shy of halfway through creating .lrf files for our 16,000 or so MultiFormat titles, and
hope to be finished soon. If the Sony Reader file is available for a MutiFormat eBook, (Sony
Reader .LRF) will show up in the format selector dropdown menu in your bookshelf.

Cheers!
