Hello. I recently picked up a PRS-350 and am still getting it set up to my liking. One thing it doesn't appear to have, but I think would be very nice is to be able to change the standby screen message (currently tells you it is sleeping and how to turn it back on). I would like if I could put my name and address there so if I were to lose it and an honest person came across it I might get it back. I searched the forum and didn't see any way to do this, but has anyone figured a way? Maybe a hack or firmware mod? I haven't read through the whole PRS+ thread, but didn't see it by searching.

Some workarounds I've thought of or read elsewhere:
1) edit my photos and add my info on each. Kind of a tedious option, but it would accomplish the desired result.
2) create a dummy book that has my contact info. I read somewhere that someone had done that, but I can't find that post again. Anyway, with that method I'd have to exit my current book and load the dummy book each time or just put it in the library and hope someone actually found and opened it.

Any other ideas? Thanks!
