I didnt realiase it offers anything in regards to font changes. This hack DOES NOT cause any battery drain as far as i know (thats what i have on my 350 right now and the battery is fine). I HAVE been able to change the font using CSS tweaking in Calibre, but i dont think it has anything to do with modified firmware.

Yes, it's the Boroda firmware. What it does is set up the reader so fonts can be easily changed. It's a 2-stage process: One, flash with the Boroda firmware. Two, import font files onto the reader and edit the userstyle.css sheet on the reader to link to the new font files. On page one of this thread are step-by-step instructions for stage two from induna.
If you currently use css tweaking in Calibre, that is a more time-involved and messy process. You don't need to do that anymore. This way is very simple. And you can keep multiple font families on the reader and change between them by simply hooking up to your PC and making a quick edit to the name of a css stylesheet. It would take one minute perhaps. Certainly it is not as easy or convenient as doing it by a menu option right on the reader. But this is the next best thing.
