The Sony eBook Store changes to EPUB format
eBook fans, we have heard you-
To help stop the confusion among all the digital book formats, we plan on converting our eBook store to the industry-standard EPUB format by the end of the year. By adopting an open standard, our eBook store will be compatible with multiple devices and our Readers can access multiple sources for content. Right now, our current Reader devices support EPUB and our newly announced Reader Pocket Edition and Reader Touch Edition will too. If you have a PRS 500, we won't leave you out in the cold. There will be an update path. If you are interested in learning when it's available, please send an email to feedback@ebookstore.sony.com with "500" in the subject line and we'll drop you a line when the process is up and running.
You'll start to see more and more EPUB content become available in the coming months and that means more for you to read. What's better than that?

Thanks for your questions. Right now we are determining the best (and easiest for Reader owners) way to implement the update. We'll keep you updated on the blog as we get closer to the changeover time. In the meantime, feel free to email feedback@ebookstore.sony.com with "500" in the subject line and we'll send you a notification as soon as the solution is available.

We're now into late September, moving into October soon - has anyone heard any news since then?
Or am I being a bit impatient?
