I've been looking at the Story, too. But finally decided on the Sony touch. I was pretty well satisfied with my old 505 (no FW updates, but at least the 505 did work properly from beginning on, so I assumed the 600 would be similar in stability and functionality) and it was the only one reader I could get in stores. Still, there haven't been updates for the 600, but it does its stuff ok and I would say that there just hasn't been the need for a FW update.
This was one big issue I had with the Story. Getting a product that's not quite finished yet and hoping that the company fixes this was too big of a risk which I wasn't willing to take.
