Questions:

1. If I just bought the 505, and its in the mail, will I need to update the firmware or will the newest firmware already be in place?

2. I have a number of books in HTML format. What is the best method/program for converting them to 505 format (with best visual results) and then transferring them to the unit?

3. After reading the board, I see some cool hacks for the device. Are these safe to use or will they in any shape cancel my warranty/and or have a chance to damage the unit?

4. Last question, I promise. I also ordered the lightwedge light from Sony. How do you folks feel about the light when reading in complete darkness?

Thanks to anyone that can help!
