Long story short, I love the reader and am pleased that I have it. Unfortunately I still do not feel that this is a company that I can trust. It pains me that companies prey on the people that "won't ever" know. I am glad that they got caught and I hope that other companies take note.
I will continue to use the reader and will evaluate new Sony products as they come along but I will not hand over my money to Sony if I feel there is a similar alternative that offers the same or comparable features at close to the same price point.

I would not be able to say it better.
You perfectly describe my feelings about the whole situation.
I haven't even updated my firmware yet from the original version.
