Why? BBeB is not a good format to store books in. So it would not be a good idea to encourage people to post process LRF files. I have toyed with making an opensource LRF *viewer* but haven't found the time do it yet.

Incidentally most of the LRS Spec, as well as the conversion from LRS->LRF (which is not documented by SONY) is defined through an object library pylrs, which is part of libprs500.
