Until yesterday I had been happily using PRSCustomizer plus
pepak's wonderful custom EPUB font hack plus the Dictionary-on-a-stick add-on (from the Sticky in this forum).
I had been putting off moving to PRS+ because I didn't really want to switch to the US Firmware (v1.1.00.18040) from my original UK version (1.2.00.18050) and I didn't want to lose the Dictionary app (I know it's a bit clunky but it's still more convenient than finding a paper dictionary).
However, the siren call of PRS+ being able to easily switch between epub custom fonts finally got too much for me and I decided to go for it. As a very nervous hacker, I read the installation guide about 10 times before I started.
Well, I'm pleased to say that I don't know what I was worrying about. The installation was so easy, thank you

Feeling quite brave by now, I decided to add back in my missing PRSCustomizer bits (custom LRF fonts, pretty icons). Thanks to
dwanthny's installation help notes this process was also a breeze. Thanks also to
surquizu and
angelofdarkwinds for the updated BookIcons, BookAssets images.
Finally, with no great expectations, I put my old Dictionary card back in the SD slot. Lo and Behold it worked as-is, just the same as before.
So, in conclusion, why would any PRS505 owner not install this fantastic upgrade. Thank you all for your efforts in adding value to our PRS505s.
P.S. Can I have my "proper British dates" back soon, dd-mm-yyyy?
