In the last year I've been impressed with how Sony has been demonstrating that they are listening to their ebook reading customers.
1) Updated the firmware for the PRS-505 to support ePUB
2) Offered a (token) rebate to PRS-500 customers to upgrade to the PRS-505
3) Introduced a PRS-700 with an integrated light (one of the largest complaints I've seen about e-ink)
4) Made the following quote in the Adobe announcement...

“With support for reflowable PDF and the new EPUB format, we are able to deliver richer reading experiences to digital book lovers,” said Steve Haber, president, Digital Reading Business Division, Sony Electronics. “The Reader ships with support for Adobe Reader Mobile SDK today and allows consumers to acquire eBooks from a variety of sources, including public libraries. Our goal is to foster an open content environment that enables our customers to maximize the use and enjoyment of their Readers.”
