Up until now I have only been using Calibre. So I installed Sony Reader Library, hooked up the reader and it recognized it along with ALL of the installed books. It also showed the screenshots that I took with the new firmware
I then proceeded to go to the estore. I found a free book, put it in cart and tried to "purchase" I needed to create an account first, and then it found the "unauthorized" device and asked me to activate. I activated it, and then "bought" the free book. It was downloaded to my library on the computer, I then dragged it onto the reader, disconnected and then started to read it.
So, short answer is, yep, it works fine with the software

Not comfortable with creating a new thread, but I will post the steps I took to do it. Will have some time a little later to do it. I fully understand your worry about bricking. They also have another set of firmware to get a "bricked" unit to a usable state to reinstall the firmware. Also the author?? of this firmware is a member and regular poster here and is very helpfull.
