It's a good thing that now they have a download link on the website support page so you don't need the Reader software.

Unfortunately this firmware update didn't enable more wireless features that the T1 is missing. You still can't setup auto-deliveries of newspaper and magazine subscriptions to the T1. Once they enable these features, then firmware updates should be over-the-air like the 950 model.
They still don't have auto-delivery for magazines and newspapers? That's unbelievable... they had that working, over 3g, over two years ago on the PRS900...

It's a pity, but, in terms of newspapers and magazines, the T1 is a huge step back... no 3g and not even auto-delivery via WIFI.

But how the heck does one get magazines and newspapers on the T1? The Reader software misses a lot of issues - as in, it often will NOT import them - whereas the Reader Library worked. So what's the other option? Drag-and-drop?
