Yes, but this is primarily the fault of MobiPocket's Java Reader (same problems from the same Reader on the iLiad, for example). Other versions of MobiPocket Reader have user-settable fonts, line spacing, and margins.
MobiPocket realy needs to add line spacing and margin options to its Java Reader, it would make it much more user friendly.
MobiPocket's Java Reader can support multiple fonts (it does on the Pepper Pad 3 for example), so this is Amazon's (and iRex's) "fault". Restricting the device to a small number of preloaded fonts is understandable (Cybook's user fonts have caused problems), but one font seems excessively stingy and I wish there was a bolder font like Ariel Black available.
