With help from igorsky I'm about ready to release a firmware flasher that works via the SD/MS card slot. I picked up a fresh new Reader today and I'm using it as the test subject.

Question to the rest of you: is Sony right to be worried? Is someone going to use the technology to break the DRM? I enjoy being able to buy reasonably fresh main stream ebooks and I'm not interested in producing and releasing a tool that results in the destruction of that ability.
