In landscape mode, you can select between one or two column. Also, you can change the background to white, sepia or black and adjustbthe line height and the font size, but not the font type.

Thanks! I'm thinking the Nexus 7 is a better option than the Fire HD for multiple reasons, so once Amazon clears the PW charge from my account I'm going to order one.

One thing I noticed about the Kindle Fire is that my Amazon books and side-loaded books are separated. The amazon books are listed under "books" and my side loaded (calibre emailed) books are listed under "documents".
Does the Nexus 7 group the books together? I find it annoying to have to look for my books in 2 separate places. |

Not sure, I don't have any non-amazon purchased books any more. Would I have to send them to my N7's kindle address?

If you are familiar with Calibre and know how to "convert" your Kindle content to epub, I would recommend Mantano Reader. I saw a Kobo Touch in your profile (I think). Since both Mantano Reader and the Kobo Touch are both ADE-based, the page numbers will match. In other words, if you are on page 132 on your Kobo Touch, it will also be 132 in the Mantano app. |

Unfortunately my other devices are Kindles or Kindle apps, and they don't play nice with third party syncing. It can be done I'm told, but not worth all the extra work and trouble. Whispersync simply works, and that is why I stick with Kindles.

Oh no problem, I'm always open to suggestions. I had the first gen of Kobo Touch about 1-1/2 years ago when they were first released. A VERY good hardware platform. Unfortunately the firmware was really sub par. The CS team and developer teams were really helpful and nice, and along with some others from this forum I participated in their firmware beta program. They were trying their best to get the FW right, but they just kept making it worse. Pity, as it was a good e-reader as far as hardware goes. It was really easy to add fonts--just dump them in a folder called fonts and use the proper naming convention. But the book rendering just never looked right. I returned it just before the Borders at which I bought it closed their doors for good. I was afraid if I didn't I would never see a refund!
