The custom firmware hack on earlier devices has the great advantage of working for most epubs (including those with DRM) without having to edit the epub (you can't edit DRMed epub anyway). It doesn't work however if the epub already has embedded fonts--you will need edit the epub to take out the embedded fonts in the css so the default userStyle.css is used instead.

We won't know if the same technique will work with the new devices until someone is brave enough to try flashing the firmware--not for the faint hearted because if you do not know what you are doing you could (permanently?) brick your reader.
