Sony is still using a years-old pre-release version of mobile Adobe Digital Editions on the PRS-300 and PRS-600. Since these were released relatively recently, there is little chance the firmware will be updated. The PRS-900 has a newer version of mobile ADE.

All the other 5" EInk devices have better ePub support than the PRS-300. The Astak EZ Reader Pocket Pro is probably more expensive than the PRS-300, but is more capable and in my opinion a better value for the money. The PocketBook 360 is great hardware and software if you can afford it. The Cybook Opus allows you to change the font and some styling in ePubs (a first for a mobile ADE implementation).
