I'd just like to point out, that, in itself, both hacks can essentially be reduced to *one* single command line whose sole purpose is to swap one folder for another. There's nothing fancy or really 'hackish' involved.

So, while there may be some behavioral changes (or quite possibly just simple bugs in the system/framework, but that's not my place to say, nor can I be sure about that) in the fw 3.x framework that can cause things to go a bit weird in certain particular conditions, particularly on the fonts side on things (solely because it's something used constantly, and not from time to time like the ss), the worst that could happen because of the hacks should be fixed by a simple restart, be it soft or hard.
In the meantime, I'm working on ways to workaround these potential issues so that the process can be as painless as possible.

Aside from this, like jswinden said, the K3 uses different font rendering settings, and that can be far more unforgiving toward crappy fonts than on the K2. But that's another issue entierely, and that doesn't really have much to do with the hacks. We just happen to use the renderer, nothing we can do about it.

Also, I'd like to ask the people who have no idea what they're talking about to refrain from flaming/trolling, but I guess that may be too much to ask... .

(And I'm not talking about the OP here, I just wish we'd heard from him over in the dev forum before, that might have helped avoid such a troll-inducing thread ).

thank you so much for adding to the thread I feel much happier about how the hack works now. I was worried about it doing something to my kindle, but feel reassured now, thank you.
I may even give it a go myself in a few weeks, I am so sick of Emily now, she drives me crazy.
