Yes, the Sony does a really bad job with serif fonts, so I use sans serif. I can include images and they work. I get a working table of contents. I get typeset quality layout. Page turns don't seem to take any longer than those of the LRF files I get from manybooks.

LRF might be better if I could find some LRF generating tools that I could make work, but so far I've had no luck with that.

RTF is inherently limited -- table of contents is not supported. I'll use it if I can find no alternative, but really, with a little effort I can turn rtf to good PDF.

Text has nothing going for it other than its universality and the ability to easily adjust font size. Since I can trivially turn text into typeset PDF (and with a little more effort, TOC), there's no point.
I agree on all your points, that's exactly why we generate PDFs with feedbooks... LRF sounds like the only alternative IF we had some tools for it (latex2lrf anyone ?).
