I know, I meant the thread starter, since the 500 doesn't have this feature. !
PRS500 DOES have this feature.

Just download and install the HackBuilder.

You can improve your PRS500 significantly.
You can:
- replace icons with much better ones (by Diablo),
- fix the anoying varying size font for book names,
- reasign buttons (Wanna flip pages with the right thumb on the "joystick"? No problem),
- add delete and copy book functions,
- add clock,
- direct page number entering ...

Just run a small exe program on your Windows PC and build a hack.
Then you copy a few files that you have just generated to an SD card, insert a card and restart the Reader. After following instructions on the screen you have a significantly improved device. Simple, cool, easy.

The only thing I can not comprehend is why Sony did not incorporate those cool features into the original (or an optional) firmware. Look what our resident hackers could do with a VERY limited access to the sony internals (software- and hardware- wise)
