It took 10 minutes to reboot but then I ran the customizer and all is well. BTW, I did all this with version .03 which ultimately worked fine. Considering the number of books I have on this and the $300 investment in the Reader I think I lost at least a couple of months' life expectancy over this one.... glad the update finally worked ...... :-)

I'm sorry you misunderstood the directions and suffered so much agitation. All option seven does is wipe all firmware from your reader, leaving it ready to re-flash with the official Sony Updater.

Should I create the script folder or just move it to resources and should I rename kBookAssets1 to kBookAssets?
Thanks.

Regarding personalization, all PRSCustomizer does is place your name,email and telephone number on the reader's About page. Regarding the kBookAssets.png file, as stated in the directions:
As an additional customization not provided by this program, you can hand-modify your Reader logo. -- This involves editing the kBookAssets.png file with an editor such as Photoshop or Gimp. If you're not reasonably competent with these or similar programs I urge you not to take the extra step, for you'll surely brick your reader.

No new changes were incorporated into .04a, other than selectability. I'd heed the old maxim,
