Question Any word on a Sony update for the 505?
Just curious. I do enjoy the PDF reflow. However, I am interested as to what improvements are in the pipeline......

I think it was in the summer of 2008, no? I have:

Verson 1.1.00.18040

So, curious if any further updates are in the near future?

There is a 1.2 available. It should prompt you to download it when you open your library.

I have not yet installed the last update -- which means I cannot yet read ePub books on my Sony 505. Of course, the big inhibitor is that I have not yet installed the Sony software!

Forgive my ignorance... but i thought 1.1.00.18040 was currently the latest? When I check for updates it can't find any (i.e. fully updated)... and checking at the sony eSupport site shows only 1.1.00.18040 available?

As far as i'm aware the 1.1 update the current version in the US

the 1.2 update is the firmware for the 505 in europe with the language and date options for over here.

That's right. 1.1 is the US firmware; 1.2 the European firmware. There's no difference in their capabilities.

Mukoan--

You can add a clock to the screen by using Jeff Elkin's excellent customizer--available here:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27177

I highly recommend both the clock and the uniform fonts from the customizer.
