Thank you for this great alternative firmware. My Sony PRS-505 feels like a new machine now, with many of the essential features that are totally missing in the original firmware. Everything is so customizable and easy to use: the folder-based file manager, custom fonts, page settings, dictionaries, etc... It's really great.

I can read the fb2, text, and rtf files without problem, with all the formatting and images showing up as they should. Epubs, though, lose their original formattings: no italics (or they show up as bold), and the emdashes (—) disappear totally... Some prc, docs, and htmls files open well enough, but others are imcomprehensible... I hope these problems will be solved in the next firmware versions.

Still, it is such a great and generous effort that I must thank you again for your dedication.
