Just did a check for updates with the Sony software and there's an update... version 2.2.00.18100 of the library software is now available.

eBook Library Software Update for the SonyŽ Reader

Updates eBook Library or the CONNECT™ Reader software to eBook Library version 2.2.00.18100 software, and provides the following benefits:

* Support for EPUB file format
* Support for Adobe Digital Editions 1.5 or later and Adobe DRM-protected content
Note: Requires installation of, and authorization with, Adobe Digital Editions 1.5 or later.
* Enables text within PDF eBooks to be "reflowed". This will enlarge the text and improve the readability of text-based PDFs
* Improvements to sync functionality
o Enable to select a "file folder" and set it as a "Favorite" to sync
o Enable to sync to external Memory Card
* General fixes to improve stability and performance

Note: Any existing Library content and eBook store registration and functionality will be automatically migrated to eBook Library 2.2.00.18100.

I'm glad you can now sync to a memory card. That's one thing I was hoping they'd add.


I see the firmware is up now too, can't wait to try it tonight. I notice it allows you to delete books directly from the device. I know some people have been asking for that.
