BTW I would also be disappointed as a US citizen because I tend to use hardware until it starts becoming a pain to use it which is never less than 4 years and I think that firmware support should be available for at least 3 years. According to Wikipedia the PRS-500 was introduced in Sep. 2007 ... no full 2 years ago. Since there was also the Librie I would not consider the PRS-500 a technology experiment.

I understand a slight disappointment, I would love an update with EPUB support for my PRS500 too...but hey, the reader still works just fine so no problem. It should work, without any additional updates, just the way it is now for quite some time.....so it's not a pain to use it, right?
