Yeah, that's a good possibility too. I also saw that Adobe released an update to their ADE SDK that talked about Barnes and Nobles ebookstore features in the release notes. I'm wondering if that screwed up the DR800 firmware development? Maybe they had to go back and fix some things with the new PDF/ePub implementation.
