Well, if the Sony docs specifically call out 350 and 650, that seems pretty definitive to me. No all we need is firm confirmation of the actual upgrade features, software and hardware.

Nice
This almost confirms the rumours that Sony will be releasing their new range here. Just in time for Christmas! |

I installed it in Italian. under the warning that in languages not of my region it might not work.
(I might install it with different languages,on my wife's ) New feature is that I can copy from the book and paste as large texts as I want. The shop (negozio e-book) points me to 2 new e-book distributors in Italy. It leaves out IBS. |

- Now what? - I'm at work and haven't installed it yet - will it make me breakfast? Will I be able to buy books or use the Sony Store? Will my PRS-600 have the correct time after I use it with the software? Will it use that sweet sweet Australian English strine I so crave? Last edited by AprilHare; 08-24-2010 at 02:10 AM. |

BTW, there are also hints in the files about New Zealand and Brazil, but they're not completely supported in all of the UI, so probably those regions are not coming soon yet.

Just installed the update: - I'll let you know tomorrow whether it makes me breakfast.. not getting my hopes up. - The Sony Store leads to a 'LANDING PAGE' on sony.com.au - no purchasing books from Sony, I'm afraid - not yet, anyway. - It is 8:41 PM right now and my Reader believes it is 9:41 PM (after communing with the Reader software) Come on Sony, this is a stupid bug that needs fixing for everyone! - Where's my strine? I don't see any! |

The US website has all readers sold out as of today--maybe a good sign of things to come!
