5) Delete PRS+ Installer. (but not the launcher)
To uninstall PRS+ from x50 models:
1) Unpack PRS+ installer as in step 3 above.
2) Delete prsp subfolder in PRSPInstaller folder
3) Reboot

I attempted to follow these directions... however I noticed a .bat file in the package I downloaded - Boroda's. It Russified my Reader.
So I thought I'd explain what's going on, since I didn't understand until after I had done it.
Amutin and Boroda have produced hacked firmware for the 650 which "Russifies" - in other words makes the Readers more suitable for the Russian language.
The advice to download their flashers is I think a way to get Kartu's PRS+ firmware onto the device without the correct firmware.
There's a Windows batch file which when executed causes the 650 to be flashed, and Russified. You don't even need to manually start it.
However I still can't work out Kartu's instructions for installing his PRS+ using the flasher from Amutin or Boroda. When booting the 650 must see some particular file as a firmware update and will automatically grab it and execute it... at least that's my best guess.
So here's my questions to try and understand his instructions.
1) Install CFW? What is CFW. What is the install process? Do you just mean to download and then unarchive it onto our own computers?
2) I should get test-startup folder and do what with it exactly? Put it at / or should I put the contents at / or should the entire archive go at / ?
3) I believe this to be PRSP_650_2.0.9alpha_Installer.
So at / of my device I have...
database <-- Which was always there
epub <-- That too I think
PRSPInstaller <-- This is Kartu's PRS+ hacked firmware image, I think
test-startup <-- This is part of what Boroda distributes as his Russification hack.
script.log <-- The log generated by running Boroda's .bat file
And that does nothing. I don't know if it does nothing because I accidentally Russified already, or if it's because I'm doing it wrong. The script.log seems to indicate a script called update.sh was called when the update was done. At a guess I'd say it looks for that at root when it powers on, but I don't see any scripts called that.
