Png output would be fine. I can convert it to anything (imag)inable like jpg or pdf. I ocr and store hundreds if not thousands of historical books in my computer as pdf's and I index them. I can then find every word and go to a proper page. Your program does an excellent job for my pre- or post-processing, like fattening the fonts. It does other things as well, it does it fast and it does it in batch. No other program that I tried (scores sof them, even commercial) can match that speed.
Apart from that, which has little to do with PRS-500, once I have png output, I can use it (after conversion to jpg or pdf) both with Sony and with all other devices that read jpg or pdf. I would not need to keep duplicates as lrf's and pdf's.
On top of that, imagine that you scanned a road map. Lrf is limited to 6" or with your program to 2x6". Png (converted to jpg) can be scaled up and panned as an image even in Sony.
BTW. I invite you to visit my thread about paper book to Sony (do-it-yourself repro v-cradle) in Sony - Accessories. You will see that I am quite serious about converting paper documents/books to digital format. I have digitized all kind of family and other documents. The number goes into tens of thousands (I am not exaggerating). Sony Book Reader is just a name. In reality it is a document storage and reader with one disadvantage of lacking folders. I am trying Archos 704 wifi right now. It cannot read lfrs but can pdfs, though it is very slow. Anyway, the universal png format can be used for all kind of various purposes.
If you can do that output, please do.
