There will not be an upgrade for current Pocket PCs to allow support for DRM5 ebooks.
Jason Dunn reports, "In the end, I won't defend Microsoft on this or make any excuses. I believe this is a poor decision that slaps current owners in the face. You purchased your Pocket PC with the belief that you could read eBooks, and you can, but only if the publisher chooses to use a less-secure format...which, sadly, most of them do not. I still use Reader daily, and there's some excellent free content out there, but Microsoft didn't deliver on it's commitment to give you an upgrade and that's something they're going to have to live with."
Please post your comments - I'll make sure that the right people at Microsoft get to see what you're saying on this topic.
I think this is a good news, which mean publisher will think twice before sending their ebook with DRM5. Before this, the publishers they always being promissed that their ebooks can be read in cross platform devices, which including PDA. Thus, I expect to see more ebooks coming without DRM level 5.
