PRS-500 Date format

AprilHare · 11-14-2008, 07:49 AM

Hello,
In my little corner of the English speaking world, we generally write dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY or DD/MM/YY.
The Sony Reader, of course, defaults to that MM/DD/YYYY format that Americans love so. However, I find this somewhat confusing 353 days of the non-leap year.
Is there a simple way to force the PRS-500 to display dates in the form DD/MM/YYYY?

I'm afraid not. The model of the PRS-505 that's sold in Europe does display dates in the correct format. Since the PRS-500 was only ever officially sold in the US, it (naturally) displays dates in the US format.
