6) There will be MOBI and ePUB firmwares available for all versions of the machines.
Thanks for the info, though it has made my worst nightmares come true...

To be honest, I don't need or want ANY of the added functionality for the Mobi version! As it is now, the "new" FW update is nothing more then a minor bug fixing (hopefully) release for me. (And no, switching to ePub version - w/o dictionary support - is no option for me...)

The no information policy has made things worse and to force us to switch to ePub for all the really nice features (added ePub support and PDF reflow) is simply unacceptable. Maybe there are very good reasons for all of this, but then they should have told us much, much earlier.

Beware - very personal statement: I hate them for keeping my hopes up so high and delivering so little...
