Oh, and one last thing I noticed on the UK site:
There, it claims the Story will also read the FB2 format of ebook files, which is a format developed in Russia and popular on ebook reader devices manufactured there. I've not seen this mentioned anywhere else; I wonder if this is a new addition in the firmware 1.86 that comes with the EB03, the new wireless model? Just like firmware 1.71 introduced the ability to read the DJVU format, which the UK site doesn't mention in the Story's capabilities.
And it also claims the Story reads RTF format, another (apparently!) new addition.
(Since RTF is non-proprietary, and is effectively just marked-up text, I wonder if the Story will handle it as reflowable, where DOC isn't? That would be
really appreciated!!
)
But, I'll kinda believe it when I see it. I've also just noticed that if you click-through to the Story's technical specs page, the photos are of a Story but the specs are for an mp3 player (I think the E150).
