Correct -- I did not have to register my reader to apply the firmware update. It's on the reader now and I have successfully paged through two ePub books -- one from Google books and one from Feedbooks. (Note that I do not have Adobe Digital Editions installed on any computer.) I used the simple expedient of copying the ePub files from the PC's hard drive to the Sony reader.
But -- once I had registered with the Sony store so I could get the books from Google, I noticed a couple of "bundles" where the bundle price was less than the sum of the same books purchased from Amazon for my Kindle. I'm not proud -- I'll take advantage of a bargain wherever I can find it.
