I'd like to thank induna for his step-by-step instructions and link to the Russian forum. I just flashed my one-day-old PRS-350 and now have Georgia as the default serif font and am very happy. It's really not too difficult. This is better than having to embed your own font into each epub because not only is that a much bigger hassle, but it increases the size of each epub.

A few things to add: You should be sure that your device is fully charged and firmly connected to your PC before you proceed, and also turn off your firewall/anti-virus software (or any software that could stall the flashing process).

Also, if you try this, download the original version of the Sony firmware from the Russian site at the same time and store it in your archives. This way you have it handy if you ever want to put back the original firmware.
