Questions to Prs+ users

I am tempted to install Prs+ on my 650. I'm technically capable so I'm not looking for in depth installation instructions. Rather, I have some questions about safety and functionality.

1. Is it safe? By that, I mean can it brick the reader? I see that prs+ now has it's own installer, so I need not install a separate flasher.

2. Is it simple to uninstall prs+ and get back to vanilla Sony firmware? I read somewhere that not having upgraded to the latest Sony firmware I can simply install the latest vanilla firmware to remove prs+. Indeed, I believe prs+ doesn't work with the latest firmware.

2. Does it improve font functionality? I use custom fonts by adding them to the reader and incl. css code via Calibre. Will prs+ make this easier and / or add functionality?

3. Key shortcuts. Navigating the Sony interface is sometimes rather long. At times I want a back button. Does prs+ do this? Does it work well?

4. Book history. Does it show a list of recently read books? I guess so.

I'd also be interested to hear about your general experiences with prs+ and if you think it was worth installing. I know it's still an alpha so it might be best to wait for the beta, though it sounds pretty simple and safe already, hence the temptation to install...
Thanks!
