You really should. It's very stable - I had no problems whatsoever on either my 350 and 950. And it has lots of advantages. As mentioned above, it allows for setting that 'new' flag and for displaying the last books read on the homescreen.

But what I really love about it is being able to remap buttons (I have it set so that tapping ANY button will flip pages and holding the buttons will activate its specific function, so I can use the buttons to flip pages even if holding with my right hand). Also, you can select tap to turn pages with the touchscreen, rather than swipe. You can add a progress indicator (percentage of book or pages read) on the homescreen or add percentage indicator when reading. Oh, and have a clock in the lower corner. Finally, it adds support for foreign characters...

Those are the features I most like.
