Hi all,
I contacted Sony Europe about this problem, and here is their reply and my response:
Dear Mr Grant,
Thank you for your recent respond.
In regards to your enquiry, please be advised that sadly there will be no firmware update for the device to be compatible HTTPS.
Should you have any further questions, please feel free to reply to this email.
Thank you for your enquiry.
Dear.......,
It is indeed sad and disappointing that Sony have decided to cease supporting the PRS-Tx readers only 4 years after the last ones were sold.
Sony used to have a reputation for supporting legacy devices (such as the Walkman) by maintaining compatibility with changes in software systems. Now, all who purcased this e-reader because of its ability to download books while away from a PC will have to purchase a new device such as a tablet. In most cases I doubt they will choose Sony.
Sadly yours,
Colin Grant
If they do respond I'll post again, but I don't hold out much hope.
Colin
