migrate 505 software to 500?
I have neven seen the 505's file system structure. But is it possible to directly migrate 505's firmware to 500?

For example can we replace the FskDocumentViewerPDF.so file in /opt/sony/ebook/application/ to get the pdf reflow functionality on 500?

It would seem not.

I agree with Harry. If it were that easy Sony would do it, rather than offer a $100 credit toward a new reader when you trade in your 500.

The question should be: has anyone been daring enough to try it so far?
