I do understand that an update for the PRS-500 would have to be developed separately from an update for the PRS-505. I simply do not care. I still think Sony should be developing updates for the PRS-500.

I never said that the two readers could use the same update. What I was saying is that they can have similar _abilities_. There is no technical reason why the PRS-500 cannot support Epub and reflowable PDF.

What we are discussing here (as I understand it) is Sony's business decision not to develop upgrades for the PRS-500. This was not a technical decision. Your technical arguments are irrelevant to this discussion.
