Edit: I found where the custom setting is stored and this change will have the custom view ticked for every book when you open it.

When you have your reader connected to your PC, open up the file "database\cache\cacheExt.xml". Find any book where you have changed your custom view settings to see what the correct info is. Then just do a search for toneCurveType="0:0,0" contrast="0" brightness="0" and replace all instances with toneCurveType="5:," contrast="32767" brightness="-16000" (that's for 127 -125, use whatever your setting is for the book you already changed). Save the file and done.

Be sure you save a copy of the file before making any changes if you're not comfortable with editing it, just in case.

I pulled this text off my PRS-350, I'm assuming the exact text will be the same for the 650 and 950 though.
