SONY PRS-505 Firmware-Update + Customizing - MobileRead Forums. Important for the Russification of my old PRS 505 - after that it now works completely in Russian and with Russian eBooks. And it wasn't that complicated after I found it. The Russian menus only appear after you have gone to the Locale settings once.
