Regarding dictionary stuff, I'll include it into PRS+ later this week.

-The sony software does not recognize the reader, even though it keeps on launching itself every time I plug it in. (I don't mind that it doesn't work, but I wonder if it has any effect on some other strange stuff, see next)

-After installing prs+ all my tags (collections) had disappeared. I reconfigured them in calibre, but now one of the collections, even though it appears, has 0 books in it.

-The first time I browsed the folders from the reader, before updating the tags, one folder did not have its correct contents, but rather displayed a book that actually was in a different place altogether.

-Both times that I noticed, after connecting to the pc, my last page information had disappeared. (Is it a known incompatibility with the sony software or calibre or did i do something else wrong?)

-I have a comic book in epub format. The status bar shows that it has only two pages, which of course is not true. I can go beyond the second page, but it keeps saying it's the second page (100% of the book). I wonder why that happens.
PRS+ doesn't mess with low level stuff like media.xml etc (yet, anyway)
The known problem with Sony Readers (I think it got fixed in 600) was IM access was a bit buggy, when you modify existing files (that's what makes me wonder about calibre's workaround) from a PC. This problem occurs so frequently, that one can't develop stuff using internal memory.

Sounds like generic Internal Memory file system corruption. A fix would be to remove all box and reformat it, or to simply run checkdisk on it (right click, properties, tools then some button there) I think.

EPUB pages aren't the same as pages in terms of Sony Reader. Maybe that''s the source of confusion?

Actually both should work fine with PRS+, not sure about whether they like each other though.

And a question: I read books in greek, but I have to keep their filenames and metadate in english because greek is not displayed correctly in the menus. Is there a way to change the system font to one capable of displaying greek?
Sure. Even more, if you translate texts in this file:

you could even have Greek menu.
