1) Unpack the archive somewhere on the PC
2) Connect Reader via USB. 3) If EBL runs, kill it. Kill eBook Library Launcher.exe as well. 4) Run flash_reader.bat 5) Enter the drive letter of the Reader's main storage area and hit <Enter> 6) Wait for Reader to reboot (after the script is done, you can disconnect USB cable). Done! Last edited by porkupan; 02-04-2010 at 06:21 PM. Reason: Added link to fw archive |

The thing is that I can read Romanian on my reader by embedding fonts, but I dislike the epub format for the single reason that the output is left-justified. I like the lrf books and the way they look on my reader. Thanks again for your help. |

Is the hack working for your 600? Or maybe you know a way to embed Romanian into a lrf file. Thanks. |

Hi, everyone.
I tried Porkupan's reader's flash because some lithuanian letters were shown as question marks in lithuanian epub files. It worked! Now reader shows all letters. However, after the flash none of the dictionaries work. When I go to the settings and choose either american or english dictionary reader simply reboots. Were they erased during the flash? If so, how can I reinstall them? |

I'm odd. Take note.

Does this require the Sony Library software? My operating system doesn't support Sony Library, but it lets me use my reader through Calibre and the default epub font is too aliased.

No, Sony Library is not required.

Step by step instructions are written in the documentation.
If you don't want to mess up your reader, don't use any hacks on PRS-600. "Safe" devices are PRS-505 and PRS-500, to a much lesser extent PRS-300. PRS-600, PRS-700 and PRS-900 can be completely bricked by a failed flashing process. |
