That's simply not true anymore (if it ever was). The Kobo Glo (from the beginning) has shipped with fonts optimized for e-ink displays AND provides a font-tweaking capability completely unavailable on the Kindle, which lets the user adjust stroke weight and other settings to fine-tune the on-screen appearance according to personal preferences. Recent firmware upgrades have brought that capability to the Kobo Touch, as well, and both the Touch and the Glo also offer simple drag-and-drop installation of any TrueType fonts that happen to be on your computer.
