I'm not sure how up-to-date the 900 is. But Sony needs to keep the ADE engine updated. Why that have not it silly. Do you know if Sony is planning on implementing the latest ADE on the Readers or is Sony making the world have to work with the old version despite changes/fixes?

I do think Adobe should make it part of the contract that if they use ADE, that it has to be updated so we are not stuck with old ADE when new ADE has bug fixes and other enhancements. Sure, the new ADE supports IDPF font handling. But if a number of Readers do not, then what good is it?
