LRF is onto better looking then ePub. I can get ePub to display with the font of my choice and I can get true italics and true bold without sacrificing speed. With LRF, if you embed a font family, you end up with a really slow eBook. Sure, it will look good, but the LRF would be way to slow to turn the pages.
Plus, if you move to a different reader (not a Sony) then you would be bake to take your ePub with you without having to convert and then clean up.
With ePub, I can get more text per screen. That means less page turns.
