I am very disappointed that Sony have said there won't be any updates for the older models. I'm not looking for huge design changes, I just want bug fixes. And although I do love my PRS-300, by demonstrating a lack of interest in fixing their own mistakes I am far less likely to buy one of the new models. Software bugs happen, but a responsible company should take steps to solve them.
I'm going to email off a list of the basic errors I would hope they would fix in a firmware update. So far I have:
- Be able to have pdfs and epubs on the same device
- Latest version of ADE, which allows optional full justification of text and other css/xhtml bug fixes
I know that the Nook has a more recent version of ADE than the Sony devices, and that that more recent version does allow full justification of text and fixes some other css/xhtml problems. But I haven't been able to find any version names, or specifics about what is or isn't fixed. Are the image max-height, hr text-align and br/div problems solved in the Nook version of ADE? Are there more devices out there apart from the Nook that use more recent versions of ADE? I think the more fact-based ammunition I have about their competitors, the better chance I have.
