Well, Sony for sure is well aware that they did sell a lot of PRS-500s to outside the US. So I'm totally <add appropriate wording here> off and will never again step into the early adopter trap. The amount of time wasted with the PRS-500 "support" of PDF by far outweighs the fun part. Not to speak of the 10000 pages fairy tale or the undocumented stand-by mode which cannot be turned off. I changed the device in my profile from PRS-500 to NDS lite. For the latter I can reuse caritas' work on PDFs on small devices and I can even phone home with it :-).

Edit: BTW any green soul around here who cares about the extra electronic waste? And don't tell me about recycling. Avoiding garbage is the point.
