I received my 500 back today after 6 days, I actually called Sony yesterday as their website suddenly lost all information on my repair with both repair number and phone number, and I was suprised to get an email at 3am today saying it was on its way and by 10am it was here.

So all books are still on the device

Same device back (with all my scratches & dents from the one drop it had getting off the bus)

Firmware is now 2.0.00.09180

Customer firmware clock & icons are now missing.

I notices it is really slow in changing font sizes about 40-105 seconds for the first time on each book but then its normal speed.

I dont have any ePub books to try, I am assuming all the books on there that were lrf & pdf are still the same format.

Ok speaking of ePUB format as the store will only be dealing with that from now on will all the current books I own be converted or stay the same does anyone know?
