2. Are there firmware updates available for that for the older models (e.g., the 505)?
3. Is justification (left, right, full, none) selectable by the user or is it set by the creator of the particular epub or is there is only one setting for all epubs on the Sony?
4. Why has it taken so damn long?

Okay, I'll drop that last question so long as the answers to the other three are decent.
1. Should be all of the new models, they run roughly the same firmware now. (unlike the 300 which used a tweaked 505 firmware, and the 600 which used v2 of the 700's firmware, and the 900 which was v2 of the 600 firmware)
2. No.
3. It seems to be full by default, but the CSS in the ePub can override it.
4. The last set of models Sony launched was last year. The last model was the 900 which included a lot of the changes we see in the new models across the line. It makes sense that Sony would wait for the new hardware to be ready and the glare problem to be "solved" before pushing out new models with completely updated firmware.
