The standard V5 firmware will apparently include mobile Adobe Digital Editions, and so it will support DRMed ePub and PDF but not DRMed MOBI. I base this on the fact that both the EZ Reader Pocket Pro and the BeBook Mini will have ADE (although earler reports said that the BeBook Mini would have DRMed MOBI and therefore not include ADE).

Adobe Digital Editions is capable of reflowing PDFs, so how it handles PDFs on the V5 will be interesting to hear about. The Sony's have an early version of mobile Adobe Digital Editions, and you can compare their performance vs a V5 using Sony's Windows ebook Reader. This now emulates a PRS-700, except that the Windows version does not have the 700's zoom and landscape mode. One thing that Sony got wrong on the PRS-505/700 is that PDF margins are not trimmed in its full page view. We know that mobile ADE can do this, because the Kindle DX is using this approach.

Assuming it does have ADE, then a comparison of DRM-free PDFs, ePubs and MOBIs between the V3 and the V5 would be interesting.
