I like to read, but the sorts of books I like don’t typically end up as eBooks that you can buy for readers like the Sony PRS-505. I am partial to action books and sci-fi and it always seems that only the mass appeal books end up in digital formats to me.

Sony has announced that its Reader Digital Book will become the first digital reader to support the new EPUB format starting next month. Sony’s PRS-505 will get the upgrade allowing it to read EPUB XML-based format becoming popular with some publishers.
