Firmware 2.0.00.11300 was recently released. It will automatically ask you to update if you are connected via wifi. Not sure about 3G. Hopefully this is a sign that Sony is actually working on improving the new readers and will release more updates in the future unlike past products (Not one update for the PRS-900!). Keep your fingers crossed.
Here is what is added with this firmware.
