Hi all

I'm pretty much sold on a PRS-350, given its size and ability to annotate (although I have yet to actually hold one - there don't seem to be many in Krasnodar...). The ability to read Russian text is a must for me; I understand from various threads here that it is possible to hack the firmware to add Cyrillic capability. I don't mind doing so (I run Cyanogenmod on my phone, Rockbox on my mp3 player) but I haven't been able to find out if doing so would invalidate any warranty. If so, then I'll look to buy second-hand rather than new. Could anyone confirm either way?
