eBook Library 2.5.00.09170
I run into this on a Chinese fansite. It seems that Sony has announced a new version of eBook Library:

http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/sup...pl?info_id=359

However I couldn't find a download link on sony.com. Also I was wondering if this is the version shipped with PRS-700 or not.

Thanks! That's very helpful!

I don't know how I could have missed this one. I did a quite search in the forum and it seems that people haven't discussed about it despite that it has been out for a while? Is it good? I'm kind of loosing confidence on Sony's software...

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I just installed it, and I'd like to imagine that I am now able to access the Sony store with more successes than failures. There are now 5 font sizes for the book viewer. Other than that...

Great, 64-bit Vista support just in time before I get my PRS-505.

Oops - that's what I get for posting so early in the morning, before I'm fully awake.

Oh yes, RCR. There is now S/M/L/XL/XXL. I guess this is for the 700.

Too bad if you own a PRS-500 though - support was specifically left out for 64-bit

Really? Sure, I see the new sizes in the new PC software after it updated itself, but this was no firmware upgrade. Didn't appear to do anything to my 505.

Ah, cool. I was tempted to install it from the CD that came with my 700, but didn't want to mess with what would happen when I returned the 700. I kept checking, but never saw 2.5 available for download...

No. My mistake. When I saw the original post, all sleepy and blurry eyed this morning, I thought it was a firmware upgrade. It isn't. It is just an upgrade for the eBook Library program on your computer. eBook Library running on your computer will now demonstrate the range of font sizes the Sony 700 screen can display.

I thought the same. I updated the library software expecting a corresponding firmware update for my 505 but was disappointed.
I wouldn't mind the extra fonts sizes as long as it isn't just extra big sizes that I could do without but rather finer font size jumps than the 505 already has.
On a few ebooks medium is a little too small to be comfortable and large is a little too large to read properly.
