I've seen several reports that the new SDK doesn't force a 300k limit per flow anymore. Currently on the homepage, the review of the Cool-er states that the limit doesn't seem to apply anymore, I've seen a tweet saying that new PRS-505 devices didn't have this limit and when I tested the Cybook Opus, Michael from Bookeen said that as far as he could remember, such a limit doesn't exist anymore.

Is there any official confirmation about this from Adobe (Peter ?) or someone working with their SDK ?

What about the older PRS-505 and PRS-700 ? Will Sony provide an upgrade to disable the limit and enable justified text ? It would be a very bad thing to keep the market fragmented: some books (such as Ulysses) need to have flows that are longer than 300k and while we should continue to divide e-books into multiple flows as much as possible, it would be a good thing to get rid of this limit.
