HarryT's right. At the moment, Mobipocket, no question. Get the free Mobipocket Converter if you're on Windows. Otherwise Calibre does a decent job.

The 1.2 build 796 doesn't have the delete button working either. We're told that the next firmware update (due 'real soon now') will fix this.

Do experiment with fonts - just put in the fonts folder. I'm fond of Fontin (free!). http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/fontin.html You want the PC (TTF) version.

The next firmware version will (we're told) come in two versions - one supporting Mobipocket and one supporting ePUB. But don't hold your breath for it.

Get an SD Card - any SD Card up to 2GB should work fine. And they're dirt cheap now.
