Standby screen suggestion
Just a suggestion for anyone hacking the PRS-650 to consider - I have no idea how difficult/practical/impossible it would be to implement.

I really miss seeing the cover of the book I'm reading. The PRS-650 standby screen gives an opportunity to remedy this by using the cover image of the book currently being read as the standby screen image. Personally, I'm surprised Sony didn't implement this (at least, as a user option).

I've mentioned this in another thread and got a couple of enthusiastic responses, so I don't think I'm the only person who would like this feature.

I know my limitations, and my programming skills aren't up to tackling this myself! I hope someone might find it a sufficiently interesting challenge to give it a go.
