I have a PRS650 with the original firmware. My question is if I can just run the installer (PRSP_650_2.0.12beta_setup.exe) in order to have PRS+ or if I need to do something else first?
Thanks in advance.

I was in the same boat as you a few days ago. It depends on which version of the firmware you have. Sony released a firmware update to get you to version 1.0.00.14080. You can check this by going to Settings > About on your PRS-650, near the bottom is the version number. If you have 14080 then yes, kurtu's setup.exe is all you need.
If you're like I was and on an earlier verison, it gets a little more complicated. You can give it a go and download Sony's upgrade to 14080 firmware from the Sony style support website (google for "prs-650 and 14080"), which is what I had to do and had no problems. Apparently Sony's firmware upgrade has crashed a few ereaders, so some folks have figured out how to get PRS+ 2.12 beta without upgrading, check a few pages back in this thread.
Good luck, it's definitely worth the time to upgrade to PRS+!
