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.

Thanks for this info, both.
It sounds good. Does it replace the Sony firmware, and should I place a copy of this somewhere safe just in case the ereader has a hiccup? Does replacing the firmware negate the warranty.

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. |
It's certainly the main annoyance to me - I imagine I'd find lots on PRS+ to like, but ATM, it's a case of what I don't know, I don't miss, so if changing the firmware does cause any warranty problems, it might be safer to use something like this till the warranty runs out. I take it that this can work alongside the Sony firmware?
