Actually, most reports on the Sony Reader at CES included HTML in the list of supported formats, though they were unclear about whether or not support was native. Since several journalists reported HTML support, I can only assume that the information came from Sony (though journalists will sometimes parrot each others' information without verifying). Yet nothing on Sony's PRS-500 site or the FAQ page on their ephemeral CONNECT site mentions HTML except by implication: support for RSS and "other text formats." If nothing else, they'll probably have an improved version of their Printer and Newspaper LIBRIe software to import web pages and RSS feeds.
