PRS-950 - Are these mods possible?
Greetings,
After having sold my beloved 505, I'm saving my $$ for a PRS-950. The larger and clearer screen was key to my decision to do this. Does anyone know if it is possible to mod the 950 to do the following: -have new and different applications -be able to use the Internet links on 3G instead of only on wifi -have the menu changed to allow quick system power-down like the modded 505? thanks. |

No. To power down fully, simply slide and hold the power switch for several seconds. Flashing the Russian firmware will allow for a full time clock display, custom fonts for epubs, and some limited customization of the button functions. |

Thanks.
Did you mean this firmware? http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...er=asc&start=0 If yes, is there an English equivalent to the instructions somewhere? |
