Wow. That definitely puts a whole new slant on things, doesn't it?

I don't suppose extra unneeded functionality or fonts take up 6MB of the EPUB viewer? That seems to indicate they are not talking about a firmware update. Could it be a "return it to the shop and get a new ROM" update path for the 500?

Edit: Of course, the cost of that special handling probably exceeds the cost of simply replacing with a refurb 505 as porkupan suggested. Either way, if it's no costly, I'd be thrilled.
