Firmware Upgrade Available!
Firmware upgrade, just installed, which claims to fix the battery meter problem. New version is 1.0.3.07170.
Installed cleanly, don't know whether it fixes the battery update problem or not yet. |

Just completed the update and my Reader is still alive. I just recharged it yesterday so it will take a week or so before I will be able to see if it actually fixed the battery meter issue.
It also said it fixes a problem when the reader is in sleep mode but I don't think that I have ever experienced a problem with that. |

My update apparently went smoothly. I note, though, that my meter indicator before I upgraded was showing 2 empty boxes and now it's showing as completely charged. Hope that's not an indicator of a different problem.

Months later and this?
Is this new firmware a joke?

Seems to have gone smoothly here too, with battery bar showing full also I hope this means I can have a bit more faith in how much charge the battery has.

Why would you expect "new" functionality in the bug fix update such as this. You knew the capabilities of the system when you bought it; Sony have no obligration to provide you with new stuff free of charge. These updates are to fix bugs, and that's what they do. |

I'm laughing at the "security vulnerabilities" fix. I just know that my reader is gonna pick up some wicked virus in the park that's going to destroy western civilization. ;-)

well, i'd be happy if the 2GB-limit for memorysticks is indeed lifted (we'll see this evening). I'd be even more happy if the 2GB limit on SD-cards was lifted.

There appears to be a technical reason why support for >2GB SD cards is complex; I know of a number of devices which don't support them, and Bookeen have said that the new CyBook will also only support SD cards up to 2GB in size. I don't know what the issue is, but Sony are certainly not alone in having this limitation.

That would be a sensible thing for Sony to do - good suggestion, Don!

Love my reader with all its faults but don't have that warm and cuddly feeling about Sony that will make me come back again. That said, update went fine. Lets hope it doesn't break something else like the last one. |
