PRS-350 Lousy software - Page 2

That's a shame you gave up on the 350. With PRS+ installed, that will change all books that do not have a font specified in the individual css file. The majority of books do not have specific fonts though, you shouldn't have run into that many. You would have had to change the stylesheet.css file in the book and just remove reference to any specific font. Then rebuild the ebook, send to your reader, and then PRS+ would have rendered the font you specified.

Sorry it didn't work out for you.

The easiest way is to convert to lrf and just embed a font while doing so. lrf will also minimize the leaps in font sizes.

Well, I guess I am spoiled after using the PB360. I am thinking of getting a PRS 650 since a bigger screen might help with the font problem. Also, I read that the PRS 350 has lousy stylus (2 threads in this forum, LOL). Anyone has problem with the 650?

Customising epub fonts on a PRS650 is exactly the same as on a PRS350 - no better no worse.

Also I have had no problems with my PRS650 stylus, but I don't actually need it very often. A fingernail works pretty well.
