@jswinden: Yeah, the rendering engine settings are now pretty unforgiving to crappy hinting in fonts... Unless you know how to tweak them and are willing to spend possibly quite a bit of time with trial and error, it's harder to get a 'nice' rendering on the first try. And even then, it's a matter of taste in how you prefer your fonts to look (ie. the endless fuzzy vs. crisp battle ^^).
Well you gave it a good try and I'm certainly grateful to you for doing so. I really like the screensaver hack. Fortunately as far as fonts go I really like the K3 sans serif font, but I prefer it in bold. So for now I will just convert my books with calibre and add the body { font-weight: bold; } CSS statement to make all the text bold. That works well, but of course the bad part is that converting an Amazon book means that it can no longer be synced with other devices. But for me that is not a big issue.

Thanks for all your work!
