I have recently installed PRS+ in my 650 and from my experience I want to say that PRS+ is a must for 650.

I encourage everybody with this reader to install this enhanced firmware.

I want to highlight its best advantages from my humble point of view:

- You can read epubs with a custom CSS to use custom fonts. That definitely unveils Pearl screen's real quality: with a proper font nobody can tell you again that Kindle3 screen "looks better"

- You can make very useful keybindings. Eg: Long press of HOME key can be bound to see table of contents, long press of VOLUME keys can be bound going back/forward for last pages visited --two really important functions which are too slow to access from standard menu.

- You can easily read 2 or 3 books at the same time: The "History" of recently opened books enables you to quickly alternate them.

And do not forget that with PRS+ you do not miss any of the standard features and functionality of original firmware. You can use the reader exactly in the same way as without PRS+ if you wish.

I want to express my gratitude to kartu for this talented great work leading the best ereader to its full potential!!!
