Can't help you with the fonts, but I'd still advise keeping the Sony, simply because you'll have more options when buying e-books - the Kindle uses a proprietary file format, so you can only buy from Amazon, whereas you can buy anywhere for the Sony as long as it's in the ePub format (although I don't recommend Barnes & Noble because of their insanely restrictive DRM).
