Like me, I'll bet a lot of you who sent in PRS-500s in to Sony last week are getting them back today. The UPS guy just delivered mine about an hour ago.
To those who are planning to sent their units in for update, I'd strongly advise you to back up all your content to your computer. I'm glad I did: all of my books, pictures, and mp3s were gone from my Reader, so I'm starting out fresh. I've be playing around with the e-pub capability and so far, so good. With the latest Sony e-book library software and the latest version of Adobe Digital Editions, I was able to successfully checkout and transfer an e-pub book from the Boston Public Library's collection. The paging and justification does have the little quirks others have mentioned, but it doesn't bother me.
The new firmware has given me time and date functions I didn't have before, and a couple of other things I don't recall being in the old Settings menu. I haven't tried using the new and improved PRS-500 with Calibre on my other computer yet. I'll check that out later.
