i try it ,but nothing help from SONY.
and i don't know Japanese, but my friend took me a T3 , he said this product is good for human body. I have used kindle paperwhite 1 Gen, although the screen's contrast is good, but while reading i found the KPW1 is a tool,not as a book, Both hand holding or flip, which are actuated difficult for me to concentrate on reading.

Which is what you've already been told a few times. You bought the unit from Japan and you cannot change it to English. Nor can it go the other way around for that matter.

Settings -> 設定
Language -> 言語 With that, you should be able to find your way to the English settings |

Language Setting Menu is not for Japanese OS but UK.
I also Japanese T3 but I want English OS, too.
I checked UK English Manaul for T3, There was language change menu in English OS but not for Japanese OS. In order to switch language, I guess English firmware would be need. I am looking forward to hearing this problem solve too. |

Except if the T3 is really different, there is no need to install anything. Just look for the kanji written above and you should be fine.
Last thing, English is 英語. If you still can't manage to set it in English, can someone post screenshots/pictures? |

Japanese company reply, Japanese products only Japanese menu.
If someone has tested, the use of English firmware to brush the Japanese machine. |

And yet, the process has been explained by Sony. So I'm quite confused.

sorry,
Your said is only supported for PRS-350 and PRS-650 . Visited the Japanese website, but i don't know Japanese. The T series Prs ereader has only Japanese menu, general setting no language menu. |
