They are there. Caecilia, Caecila Condensed and Helvetica are the original Kindle fonts. It's real easy to add more... up to 10 without jailbreaking.

Thanks, will have to try adding fonts asap... and compare the PW ones with the K3 one I always used. They sure seemed different to me, how odd. Can't just be the higher res, can it? Huh...

Yep they are the same. I jailbroke my K4 and took the fonts from it to add more weight and put back on the PW. You will find size 4 on the K3 is about Size 5 on the PW.

Thanks for the help! That was really easy, adding other fonts. I'm now using the Charis SIL regular font, that one looks nice. :-)

I think that Kindle did not come from the US
I've often ordered stuff from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de, and most of it is sent directly from the Netherlands. I can't remember the address, but they definately have a store house over here. |

Glad to hear of other people with good screens. I was beginning to think Blossom and I were the only two with good screens! <not really, I know other people have been reporting good screens too.>

Thanks for congratulations everybody. I hope you'll all get good screens too! If I'm following this screen-thing correctly, we seem to be getting more and more good screens. There is hope!
