There has been work to do a new revision of this ISO standard using a later version of PDF. I hope Adobe still continue that work -- I suspect it would have somewhat better chances of being accepted. |

Will 1.7 work on the Sony Reader? Will we all have to get new updates and readers?

Let them first do decent v1.4 support, then we'll talk about v1.5+.
