or just download http://projects.mobileread.com/reade...kage.1.05f.zip
and run flash_reader.bat, if you have Vista\Win7 then turn UAC off first or run this file as admin.

Another thing: I'm not sure but I think after flashing the default language will be Russian (replaces Netherland), so you probably will need to switch it to something else.

And you are welcome

This can be used only with the 1.0.00.09300 firmware, or also with the new one?
Or - making this flashing and then upgrading the firmware, I'll keep polish fonts, or not?

I guess it is written on that russian website, but I don't speak russian and the google translation sucks

EDIT

I tried translating to english, instead of translating to polish.
Now it is understandable

One issue - the local polish characters are different than the "standard" set.
It's like having two types of fonts in each book - one font for the polish characters, another one for the standard ones.
Any easy way to to fix it?

Here is what I did to replace the droid with georgia (my font of choice):
- connect the reader to your computer
- check which drive letter the reader got assigned, probably J:
- go to the epub folder in that drive
- you will find three files: useStyle, userStyle.dflt and userStyle.droid and a FONT folder with droid folder inside
- create a folder in FONT with the name of the font of choice, eg georgia
- copy the 4 ttf font files to that folder (normal, bold, italic, italic bold), take note of the specific name of each file (eg georgia.ttf, georgiai.ttf, etc)
- open the userStyle file
- it will contain 4 references to the droid font, something like:
src: url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/droid/DroidSerif-Regular.ttf);
one for each normal, bold, italic and italic bold weight/style pair
- replace these with paths to your font. In my case one example is:
src: url(res:///Data/epub/FONT/georgia/georgia.ttf);

Save the file and disconnect the reader. Your polish letters will now be displayed using georgia.
