I use John Tenniel's illustrations for Alice in Wonderland plus a selection of M C Escher's work (and a couple of other bits and bobs).

Tenniel and Escher work extremely well on the 650's screen.

Why did you want to red one? I saw a few of those around here (in the UK, Dixons/Curries stores just seem to have the red PRS-650s) and to be honest I thought they looked cheap and nasty.

Short answer is no - script only handles collections, not book titles.

However, look into calibre's metadata plugboards, as those can do this for you. But there are some Kindle-specific pitfalls...

Are there any...

If you're using an old version then try using the latest one.
