The reason for this is quite simple. IF everything is identical it should be possible to include support for the country/language version, too. However noone did that so far and I just wanted to start with it. Wouldn't it be nice to have the flasher including support for the 1.4 country/language version, too?

The message: "The ...is not supported" is a result of a versioning check, nothing more.

Next thing might be the warranty issue. I doubt that Sony will support a reader with a changed firmware which had been forced to install. Some users might have concerns about that. And I think they are right.

The last thing about the firmware thing might be language support. I really would like to have my reader with German menus. Does the US firmware include multiple languages?


As I said - it it's just a simple country thing, we should have support for other versions, too.
