With all the speculation going on around here, I bet it was tough to keep that under your hat!
This release has given me a huge amount respect for Sony with regards to the reader product line. They clearly recognize the existing prs-500 user base and intend to carry them along with the parade at least as far as the hardware will allow. That gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Part of my fear was that they'd dump us and move on in bold new directions.
I do know that publisher support for the Sony hasn't flagged one bit, and that many houses are now feverishly trying to lock down e-rights for their back catalogs. I'm expecting a huge upswing in content availability in general, not just Sony-specific, over the next few months.
These are exciting times for the e-book industry.
