Even though this is Windows only Would you think that DE 1.5 for Mac will support drag and drop?

I read this initially on Yahoo News! and hoped against hope that the PRS-500 would be included in the update... sadly it's not. The PDF reflow (duh?) and also the DRM support (for public library stuff) sounds really nice, but I just won't be able to use it.
Teaches me to go out and buy the first-gen of any product. Hope I learn (while I play with the Nokia n800.) |

Great news! Thanks to you all, Alex, Bob and NatCh. Just one question: Did they say anything about a new generation of the reader itself???

This makes me so happy that I chose a Sony. A few days ago I'd sort of been wishing I'd gone with a Cybook. Well, as long as this new firmware will still allow me to use my unicode patch, I'll be completely happy.
ACK I just reread. a real RED reader?? WANT. dammit! Last edited by seajewel; 07-24-2008 at 03:37 AM. |

Any mention of dictionary support in the new firmware?
Thanks. |

Japanese culture
When Japanese people say "we are still looking into it", it really means "what you ask of us is not possible and will not happen... ever".
So I am afraid the PRS-500 owners are out of luck... |

Awesome news, can't wait to try it out! Now that we'll have a safe unbricking method I can release updated Universal Flasher and hopefully Hack Builder will work on the 505.

Yay! A great firmware update! Oh, wait -- 505 only. At least I can get that cool cover/lightwedge thing. Oh, wait -- 505 only. Geez, the 500 only started shipping in 10/2006 -- well under 2 years ago.
Shows you what Sony thinks of us early adopters, eh? |
