I'm definitely saving this thread. It is a song of the future for me to have a 650 but I want to be prepared.
Most of that css sheet will not be useful to you because it is specific to elizilla's individual epub. However the @font-face statements at the top of the file may be useful once you have edited them to contain your chosen font (which may be different to "Times"). They can be put at the top of the css file contained inside any epub.

The extra line
Code:
body {font-family: serif}
can also be added to the set of generic "useful css".
If you prefer reading your books with a sans-serif font then the following may be more appropriate
Code:
body{ font-family: sans-serif}
I don't believe a European language exists which cannot be read on a Sony reader once you have identified a set of suitable font files and copied them to your reader. You can buy with confidence - the sooner the better in my opinion Of course finding a store which has any PRS650s to sell may be more of a challenge. All of the above would work equally well on a PRS350 or any other Sony model from PRS505 onward.
