What Sony did is just gave us the stuff we already know (thanks to igorsk).

1. XYLogparser.dll. The same XYLogParser (from BookCreator) we are using for more than a year with the lrs2lrf wrapper by igorsk. Moreover new XYLogparser.dll is fully compatible with the lrs2lrf and produces the same result.
2. Wrapper interface. Almost no difference compared to lrs2lrf (except probably some more functions like TOC, author etc). But the same result could be achived with the lrs content and lrs2lrf.
3. LRS specification. The same to published previously and found by igorsk 3 month ago.

May be they fixed known bug from previous parser, I did not check.

The same l-o-o-o-ng conversion. Just checked: both XYLogParsers.dll (the old one and new one) do conversion of some book for 5 minutes, while homemade MSH_LRSparser do the same for 2 seconds! With absolutely the same result.

I don't think we can expect from Sony something really useful.
