Hi!

I am preparing for the time when my PRS-505 no longer works, either due to battery issues or due to me damaging it :-)

I wonder: How complete/fixed is the new Sony models' (PRS-650, or even PRS-T1 if anyone already has it) EPUB implementation compared to PRS-505's? I believe the block-justification issue has been fixed a long time ago (as early as PRS-900, I think). I am not sure about the page numbers in the right margin, and I am very concerned about the hyperlink support - while PRS-505 supports them, the implementation is very slow because ADE does not cache book data and needs to parse a new chapter-file every time I move between chapters - once when I follow the hyperlink, then again when I return back to the starting point. There are other issues with the EPUB implementation, but these three are the most painful for me.

Thanks,

Pepak
