In upgrading----
My Sony PRS-950 had the official firmware installed on it. All I needed to do was connect it to the PC (also removing the SD card) with the USB, wait for it to be recognized as a "device," and run the .bat (batch) file from the modified software that was stored on the pc. Along the way there were a couple of screen prompts that needed my input....

Remember...putting the modified firmware on your reader is at your own risk.

The upgrade is a great piece of work. Features that I hope will be in future revisions is the reader personalization -- putting your name and email on it - and ability to add website addresses to the WIFI listings.
