But seriously, you can't expect all features to run on every device, can you? I mean, try running Vista on a 386, or playing Grand Theft Auto on an Atari 2600. Sometimes you just have to be realistic.

That's true, i don't expect the more demanding additions though ( such as Adobe DE ). But there is no reason for no epub support. My (very limited) understanding of epub is that is it is essentially the same as Bbeb, instead of the XML/Image data being complied, the XML/Image resources are zipped.
Seeing as epub is becoming an emerging standard. I Don't think it's unreasonable for sony to add support of it to the 500. It wouldn't require that much work.
I have no problems in paying for an firmware update, i just find it such a shame, considering the 505 is basically the same device just with more memory. The 500 is such a good device with a lot of life left in it.
I think sony should be showing more corporate responsibility.
