That's so-o-o last year, Ripplinger

With PRS+ v2.1.xxx the new css file is applied in 2 taps, without ever needing to leave your open book. It's brilliant! Try it ASAP (as long as you're OK with an alpha version, of course

)

I just installed 2.1 alpha a few days ago, but didn't realize the font change would be instant and not have to re-open the book. That is another great feature for sure, PRS+ just keeps getting better and better.

BTW, you can also use the font change ability to get fine-grained control of the Size of the font displayed, which is at least as important.

Does the 950 web browser work with PRS+ installed? If so, does it work in landscape mode? It only works in portrait mode under Sony firmware.

While I use Calibre, will the reader be recognized in Sony's Reader Library software if I am using PRS+?

And, is PRS+ compatible with ADE DRM?

PRS+ is "just" a extension to the SONY UI, no replacement.

So broswer will work, only in portrait mode no changes due to PRS+ beside the possibility to download any file to IM (not via https and not from pwd-proteced sites)
recognition from calibre and Sony's Reader Library is unalterd (but not simultaneous)
Yes, as for reading the original Sony viewer are used.

Installed 2.1 alpha, to change fonts easily I used swipe up to change the fonts while read a book. This is how: go to settings for 'PRS+ Settings', choose 'Touch Settings' (on page 2), 'Swipe Options', 'Custom Swipe Actions', 'Swipe Up', choose 'Book', and choose 'User EPUB Style (CSS File).
After that, while read a book if you 'swipe up' you can choose fonts from CSS files and instantly go back to read a book.

For me, the most important benefit is the ability to control the home page books display. I normally use it to display the next books in a series (I typically read a series completely in order), versus the last loaded.
