ePUB or sony format?

Euroboy · 10-22-2009, 05:28 PM

I am waiting for my 600 and am downloading public domain books. Given the choice, would you prefer the sony format (lrf??), pdf or ePUB format to go with your Sony Reader? Any why?

ePub because I think it will have long term support and wide industry support.

I read The Sleeper Awakes by H.G. Wells last week and had no issues with ePUB even tough it says experimental on the Project Gutenberg pages. http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/12163

An ok read btw. if you're into dystopian sci-fi.

I used to like epub a lot with the fact that you can easily customize fonts, but right now LRF is what I prefer because of the full justification.
It still boggles me that Sony has not updated their readers to display epub in full justification, despite me e-mailing them multiple times.

justification should be an option on the reader, and the reader should follow the justification specified in the CSS. the sony reader (or whatever ADE version used on it) does neither.
