Also, PDFs take more 'processing' when displaying on my PRS-505 (aka battery and time). And depending on how the PDF was originally formatted, pages, spaces, paragraphs, font sizes, etc all come out a little bit off. And resizing on the fly is a PAIN.
IMHO epubs make far, far better ebooks. PDF is for when I want a deadtree printout.
Never used FLAG so I have nothing to say there. Is there a compelling reason you are switching to FLAG, like FFDownloader not supporting the archives you use? No need to install new if you don't have to, after all! For my part, I will always reconvert epub in Calibre so my CSS stylesheets kick in, so I don't actually care what the various archives declare to be 'epubs'--I'll fix them when I get them, and a PDF won't let me do that.

I don't know that I am switching to FLAG. I just heard about it for the first time the other day. I don't like Graffer, and ever since the last update, the e-books produced by FF Downloader have had some odd formatting issues. I've been having to edit them in Sigil. I'm willing to keep doing that if I have to, but if FLAG is easy to use and outputs a nice looking e-book, that would save me some effort.
