Firmware update......

I have read elsewhere of a " firmware update" for the PRS650 - anyone know anyone know anything about this - or is it something us in the UK aren't allowed/able/due/qualified for ?

And if we are or can get, how, why, and where from...............

And is it a good idea anyway.

Firmware update......

Thanks Specialist, bang on .......................:smileyhappy:

"Applicable models:

PRS-650

Improvements

This firmware update resolves the following symptoms:

Reader cannot open a purchased book and “Protected Page Error” is displayed.
Annotations on a purchased book are lost."

I have yet to have these problems,but would you say it's generally a good to download these fixes & firmware ? Is it a bit like a security system keeping itself up to date just in case, so install for peace of mind - and can you "catch up" on past firmware if that's the case ?

If so, seems a good idea for everyone to check this section every now and then.
