So not only do you no longer need PRS+, but you get a Reader that's faster, more reliable, handles hi-res images much much better, has a significantly better higher res screen with more contrast, font light, newer version RMDSK, and maybe a larger screen.
Nope, PRS-350 trumps all new reader is all aspects. For epub, there is simply no better reader than the 5 inch Sony on the market. Why would anyone need a reader larger than a 5 inch for epub? I have collected over half a dozen PRS-350 over the years, most of them in most are in new conditions with excellent battery life. I have sony lighted cover, which is better than front light because it also lights up my footpath which front light can not do. And the traditional light is so much better, just any thinkpad users, which do they prefer, thinklight or backlight?

Also, sony PRS-350 has metal body and FIVE physical buttons, which I can map with PRS+, giving me 10 shortcuts/functions. The new readers are horrible with their button less designs.

Anyways, I really want to improve PRS+, which language is it coded in? There are many bugs, although there are workarounds, but I want to remove them.
