I'm not got going to put a positive spin on this, as I don't think any update is necessarily a movement in the direction of future updates. I've owned six different Sony Readers and this is only the second update to any of them. The first update was when they decided to change over to ePubs instead of LRF, so that too was for Sony's business model. I'm glad they switched to epubs, but it was not an update to address our complaints or wishes. Instead we got stuck with a crappy ePub viewer on the 300 and 600. And it is still a crappy ePub viewer on those models. They improved it greatly with the 900 and then the 350, 650, and 950, but refused to update the older models.
