On the next start, it'll have the new version.

Good thing I read this - could it please be added to the readme.txt file in the Installation zip file as a guide for other people doing the upgrade?
For clarification, is the READER/ directory I see on the Sony 650 from Windows Explorer the "root of the device"?
Thanks

I'm with you. I'm perfectly happy with my T1 (assuming the fix due end of the month works!) but, having run through that list of PRS+ features, I can't help but feel a wee bit envious.

You can still use setup.exe, it will perform only needed actions.

Using "unzip update file" you won't get updated fonts and deeper system changes. (those happen rarely though) It's more of a developer / Linux / MacOS thing, windows users shouldn't need it.

Has anyone a solution for me now? Would it helps to try it with an another computer? My daughter has a laptop with Windows 7 ...

I think running the install from your daughter's computer would be worth the time. I installed the latest release candidate to my 950 from a Windows 7 box last night with no problems.

Good Luck.

Heck, I didn't even know the setup was that considerate! Well done, kartu

Kijac:
Walt is right, trying it on your daughter's laptop is definitely your best option.

Now, I have the PRS+ on my PRS-950, but he crashed again and again. Who can tell me, what things should be active and which not.
Games: Instabil? Sudoku don't work, other games don't work ....
Calender: Chrash when I click for the next month .....

So if nobody finds anything that needs fixing before it becomes a release version, how long will this be?

Ok, please forget a about games. (BTW Sudoku and Minesweeper have a Menubar, so GAME is a MenuItem to tap, there should be a dropdown menu with NEXT RANDOM aso)

There is the main-reason for PRS+ BrowseFolder, so you can organize your books in a hierarchic folder structure.

You may check ViewerSettings and Book-Management to customize the readers behaviour. (customize basic touch-gestures, manage which books will be shown in row two of the homescreen, ...)

Use Keybindings to bind shutcuts to some buttons (most likely the hold-Volume+ and -, but not limited to that)

You can choose to have the cover (actually the first page) of the current book as standby-image.

If your are reading PDF in landscape, then setting ViewerSettings "Don't Mask Overlap" to disabled will grey-out the overlaping text on the page.

And many more to explore. And please feel free to ask. Here or in the sticky main-thread in the Dev-Corner

Regards
Mark

I've installed it on my 350 several days ago and have been trying everything with it, including most games, and haven't had a crash yet with it.

Kijac · 11-22-2011, 11:56 AM

Okay, why the books aren't sorted on the SD Card with file structure like in the files like on the computer?

But a bug that needs to be fixed doesn't always lead to a crash.

Ripplinger · 11-22-2011, 12:34 PM

I should have worded that differently. I haven't experienced any bugs at all, no problems whatsoever, no matter what application I used on the reader. It's been flawless for me.

Regarding games and apps guys, 950 in particular, but other than that other readers too (if you try it harder) aren't stable in 2.0.x. I didn't remove all of them (that would be one of the solutions) for 2.0.x release since there are people who still use them (even on 950).

Games&apps fix requires a lot of work, basically major rewrite (also affecting look & feel) it was decided to release 2.0.x without fixing them, focus on long wanted feature first: dictionary and revise games/apps later.

Could you elaborate? You could experience "some files are missing" problem if you either use non-latin languages (that's Sony's bug) or use latin, but have helluva lot files (thousands). In this case "via mount" option is there to help you. (it has it's downsides, that's why it's not on by default)
