Extracting to a SD card , Truely Power OFF your PRS-700, disconnect the USB

will start auto , after update finished, press OPTION button and the PRS-700 will
reboot again , take out of the SD card and now will support CJK font.

1. the package has 3 dirs and 10 files , need put them all in root .
2. you need make sure the 700 is truely power off buy holding the powe switch 3-5 seconds before inserting the sd card then power on again to start update.
3. the update need several minutes, press OPTION after finished update and the 700 will reboot auto.

Wow, it only took those guys 5 months to translate it from Russian! Not a bad job... They should have used the one with a clock though.

sorry, just solved. A little patience helped, waited one hour and reset again.

Does this convert the whole interface to Chinese? I would simply like to be able to read books in Chinese, but have an English interface as it is my native language and only 10-20% of the reading I do is in Chinese ...

Thanks in advance!

So I waited for over a year and there was no release of any kind of firmware upgrade for the 700 at all so yesterday I decided to try this. The flashing and everything worked wonderfully. The reader even auto-flows vertical Japanese texts in pdfs.
