Why should I have to go through all the hoops (legal and otherwise) of un-drm, change CSS, etc., to a book I don't even own, when Sony could have just put a better font on the device? Or a few to choose from?
My thoughts exactly. I really don't feel I should have to remove DRM, add files, and edit CSS to make a book readable to me. Or flash the device. (Thanks induna. At least I know it is possible perhaps with some risk?)

Other ereaders provide this option. Sony could have also. The Nook's amassis (?) font would have been fine.
