When I bought my Sony 500 and then the Sony 505 I was very happy and very grateful some folks way smarter than me took the time to develop all kinds of useful hacks. Those hacks turned both readers from very nice to very nice and very useful. Now I bought a Pocket Pro and there seem to be no hacks at all, I checked for hacks for BeBook Mini and Hanlin V5 as well, but is the lack of hacks because they run different types of software or do I not know where to look, or am I just too stupid to find them, or is it yet too early for hacks?
I really like the Pocket Pro because my hands are rather small and the page turning wheel is easier to use and the Sony's get cold to hold onto and I do not think of hacks as badmouthing a product but to tie users over until firmware updates catch up with user requests.

Maybe someone out there knows the answer...
Thanks for any info!
