Of course I have.
Just to mention some issues:
1) Auto-delivery still fails (often) to add magazines to the periodical list. I have subscriptions to WSJ and FT. They are downloaded - almost every day (it misses, but rarely, even if the PC is always on) but often the subscriptions are not added to the list of periodicals and cannot be accesses from the software. that is, the actual epub gets downloaded, I can open it by manually locating it in its folder, but there is no way to import it into the software. SONY CS has confirmed this as a known bug over the phone, but they have no solution for it, at least at the moment.
2) Subscriptions are often downloaded multiple times. Same as above, but multiple copies of the same epub is created.
3) Handwritten notes from the x50 series are still not displayed in the new software - but they work with the old one.
4) Handwritten annotations - from the x50 series and from the T1 - do not always export correctly. The export feature creates an RTF file containing images of the underlying page and of the annotations, but the two often do not line up correctly.
5) It still freezes on me, occasionally. Less than before, but it is actually currently frozen (I was trying to sync my 950 - letting it sit for another hour or so, then I'll be forced to shut it down, not for the first time).
6) Periodicals (for example, old issues of Foreign Policy purchased through SONY's store) are sometimes added to the book list instead of the periodical list. If you try multiple times, the same issue gets added to one or the other, seemingly randomly.
And, of course, the intended feature - not being able to delete books purchased through SONY's store - is so poorly designed I am tempted to call it a bug.
I have multiple PCs and multiple readers, and the above problems are consistent across PCs. I do no have a Mac, so I can't comment.
And all of the above works smoothly with the old software - at least for me.
So yes, I call it buggy because I am sure it is. You might not notice if you don't use certain features.
EDIT: because I am not getting into this...
