Hacks for 700?
OK, so I finally updated from the 500 and went with the 700. Are there any hacks like there were for the 500? I really miss the clock!

Forgive me if this has already been discussed in another thread, but, has Sony indicated that a firmware update is coming anytime soon?

No, they haven't. You never know when an update comes out (I think the only time we got wind of one was when the Reader was about to be introduced in UK).

Igorsk - Thanks for the information! Hopefully the next update will have those things many here at MobileRead have been asking for.

Pangolyn,
How about inputting a value for the zoom? If a certain book you are reading you set at, say 64%, how about each time you open, or it already goes to that value, or you can input it with a value not eyeball?
Once you have a good zoom value how about hiding the arrows?
Once you hide the arrows how about being able to change page without undoing the previous two steps?
Are all these workable?

I am ok with highlights and notes, but I wish you could easily pull up all bookmarked pages in all books.
