I don't know about much of a speed difference, I haven't viewed a comic lrf but I have seen it load pics and I don't think an optimized pdf could display much faster. Also, I do lots of preprocessing beforehand on the images.

The script is sony-convert-archives2pdf, you can search the forum and find it.

I'm not interested in converting files from their native format on my computer (I'll make exceptions for html -> txt or pdf -> txt) but I just have no interest in converting a file from it's very acceptable native format to another that would exist only on my reader. No thanks. I like just coping over or backing up without having multiple formats of the same things (I have this problem already as it is). Also, I don't need images unless it's a comic and I have very good scripts for converting. I don't personally like lrf at all, I like the small font size that .txt brings me. I do have some but only because that's the format I grabbed at the time.
