My apologies! At the time of writing the guide I thought you were igorsk because I was reading russian forums via google translate late at night and some brain cells misfired. I stand corrected (and slightly embarrassed).
I think igorsk is a hero to all, the one who started the sony reader momentum, but you don't need to be so humble either, because without you, I couldn't do it for the PRS600, and the guide is for the one device I own.
Mike_73: I just got my reader maybe a week or two ago, and when being a bit sick in the past week I flashed the boroda firmware on it. One or two days ago I started looking at the firmware once I got it unpacked. The last step in "my" guide is about as far as I've gotten so far. So I appreciate the offer, but currently I'm too clueless to accept!
Porkupan told me he's not big on trying to expand functionality, he just set things up so that other people could do it. As for me, I'm definitely interested, but my balance of skills and free time might prevent me from doing anything useful. My free time varies chaotically (PhD student wanting to finish soon) and my skills... well, I won't know if they're sufficient until I try.
Basically, I'm looking at things one step at a time: next I'll be changing the default fonts.
If I do make something, I'll be sure to post it on this forum, maybe with a guide for others to follow. Even if I can't do it, I can try decrease the resistance for others to follow :)
