I did see it mentioned - but have not seen it yet. I also have to say that the new software is not very stable. I tried dragging and dropping a collection from my library to the Reader and it crashed the software every time.
I ended up having to sync it to the SD card to get it onto the Reader. It looks better, but I don't know that that's enough. |

there's no reason they shouldn't, as long as sony updates their epub renderer. the opus supports justification for epubs. adobe added that to their sdk a while ago, if i'm not mistaken. |

My impression is that only the 500 needs a firmware update to handle epub. The other models have had new firmware available for a while...
Also my 2.5 library software still says that no updates are available on my PC. Here is some detail regarding the 3.0 library software: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/sup...pl?info_id=368 |

The pim.dll doesn't mention the prs-500 yet, so if an epub firmware update is coming for the 500 it won't be today/soon, as it will require a new version of the EBL software. Btw, it also doesn't mention the Daily Reader.

But my 700 needs a firmware update to handle the dictionary support I desire!

Welcome to MobileRead, nishnabek!
We're actually waiting for a firmware update to allow for a dictionary look-up capability (among other things) that was mentioned in an earlier Sony announcement. |

Calibre is what I organize my Library in and sync with I only use the Sony Software if I need to buy something from the Store, then it ends up in Calibre eventually. Better Software.
