Please understand that I am only speaking of
MY V3 and
MY V5. I certainly hope that most other folks do not have a bottom of the barrel PocketPRO like the one that I have. I seldom use the V5 anymore, and just keep it around for it's convenient size for traveling.

CoolReader is the default reader for RTF as well as FB2, so the reader features are identical for both formats, although you can can make format dependent customizations using CSS files in the /crengine folder. I am currently using the Buggins' Lbook experimental firmware on both my V3 and my V5, so all the features on both readers are pretty much identical.

I keep all my master files on my PC and just copy the books I've prepared properly to my PP's SD card (with a few to the internal memory). Since I am not hurting for hard drive space, I hadn't considered size as a limiting factor.

I don't consider file size as a limiting factor either, I just tend to appreciate elegance and efficiency in the file format characteristics. After the first look at the internal file structure of RTF and FB2 in a text editor, I really appreciated the cleaner structure of the FB2 file format. I do like that either of those two formats can be easily edited in a standard programmer's text editor when I want to do a bit extra.
