Just got a Kindle Touch. Connected to Windows - don't even see a reader.pref file in the system directory. Am I missing something or is this Kindle different? Obviously, can't change the font without a preferences file.
Just wanted to point that out - I know this is day one and this is a new Kindle so I will see what other people with more technical skills find out about this new puppy. |

Can someone please tell me where this hidden directory is located on my MAC?

.assets (a hidden folder) acw (folder) AudibleActivation.sys Search indexes (folder) thumbnails (folder) userannotlog.0 None of those folders have a reader.pref file in them. |

It's on the Kindle drive. If you don't see it there, you don't have hidden files showing. To find out how to show hidden files, Google "show hidden files on mac" + your mac OS version.

Now I'm definitely not getting the KT. No way I'm doing without my font. |

Meh, that sucks ;/. We'll be able to confirm that once/when we get a rootfs dump.

Is there a non-hack (or any method) that makes it possible to get the sans serif font onto the DXG?
It's the only thing I don't like about my DXG, but that's enough to keep me using my K3 instead of my now poor neglected DXG. |

AFAIK, this method should work on a DXG .

@Clawdia: Err, yep, you're absolutely right. I forgot that the DXG was still using 2.x... >_<"

Hi, Can you recommend another simple way to put the sans serif in the DXG? Thanks

Thanks - and I hate to admit this - but all that is so far over my head that I get dizzy trying to look up that high.
Poor DXG - I may never be able to love it again. I'm 60, and I've always used a Mac partly because I couldn't figure out how to use a PC (well, not the PC, but that #(%& Windoze stuff). Anyway, I appreciate the information even if I have to admit that I can't use it. |
