Uh, no longer at issue. It's not as fine-grained as FBReader180, but you *can* adjust margins (3 or 4 settings) from none to really wide; you can adjust line spacing (used to be a hidden control, now its explicit) and they even offer up Sans Serif and condensed Font face along with 9 sizes. (It's still Caecillia-only, so... Wheee! )

And while the K3 will never be as compact or as ergonomically brilliant as the PB360 it is now on par with 302, maybe a tad ahead. And they 5 way switch looks and works like the PB360's. Their paging buttons wrap around the sides and are firm but quiet. K3 is not a bad reader for the masses.

I still prefer 5" 200 dpi to 6" readers, especially PB360 (I don't buy my readers by the pound, like some) but in a 360-less world I could live with Kindle.

Hopefully, it won't come to that.
