I've been relying on the new tags on the reader since it's been working so well now with recent PRS+ changes. I sometimes like to reread books so preferred a method to let them stay on the reader.

Edit: Snuck in another post while I typed.

I did see a post about doing this, but it sounded v. complicated!
Yes, PRS+ is a different firmware, and has many other great features in addition to managing the new tags easily. It lets you change fonts (that being the main advantage of PRS+ to most readers, me included), has a folder sort option if you prefer, adds a few games (although they drain the battery much quicker and not a main feature to me). It's a very easy installation process now, just download the file for your reader, unzip it, hook up your reader to the computer and double click the setup.exe file and wait a few minutes.

If all you want to do is change the order of which 3 books are displayed on the main screen, use the Order Books tool. It's a tiny program that installs on your computer and lets you change the 3 books that show on the main page by changing the date. Works very fast and is very handy, I always keep my next 3 books to be read there, last 3 loaded was totally useless to me. It also will change the new tags in bulk if you wish as well now. Very handy tool.
