I bought my Story about 5 months ago. I remember reading an online article about this product's launch. The iRiver's top guy, who was very ambitious and optimistic about this product, has promised more formats, more features, including a dictionary, with firmware upgrades. He seemed to imply that good stuff would be added real soon.
Fast forward 5 - 6 months. We didn't get many new features, didn't get a dictionary, and we got a buggy as hell firmware. Firmware v1.70 has been out for a month and there isn't any fix for major bugs for 2 major formats.
I suspect Story isn't very profitable, and iRiver doesn't want to spend a lot of resources on it. Ebook reader market is tough. Unless you read in Korean, there're plenty of other good ebook reading products out there.
A good test of whether a product is successful is if you'd buy one for your loved ones. Right now I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
