So, anyone here use LRF scaling?
LRF scaling is for -> LRF.

Most folks who are messing around with PRS+ are happy to simply use EPUB for EVERYTHING, and if you do that, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

It's only if you try to mix EPUBs with the older LRF files that things get more complicated when you use PRS+ to change fonts.

To change fonts, PRS+ uses custom CSS files that can be changed on the fly.

If you change these CSS font settings, this will change the default font for both LRF and EPUB's.

EPUB handle this seemlessly, but LRF's are a bit more complicated, because the pagination is normally handled only when you first load an LRF, and the fonts you use need to be in sync between the Sony Reader Library and the PRS-350, and this can be tricky if you change fonts on the fly.

There are ways to sort all this out, but it's a lot simpler to just use EPUB for everything, then you can avoid these issues.

For really good protection, I recommend the CaseLogic designed for the PRS 300. It holds the reader in with little straps across the corners, zips shut, and has a very nice pad over the screen. I can confirm that the 350 fits this case.

As someone who has both the PocketBook and the PRS 350, I can tell you that the Pearl screen really does make a difference. I can read smaller fonts on my PRS 350 and the letters are sharp and clear.
