I tweak my ePubs and use Segoe UI semibold as my normal/normal font. I use the same as the default on my computer. I'm quite happy with the font on both. If you don't particularly like Segoe, you can do a search for semibold fonts. I think there are plenty out there...free. With that font, I find that the default contrast settings on my Sony are hard to improve on.

Sorry that happened to you Cpl. Because of that possibility, I put off flashing my firmware to the Russified version. I got brave and did it yesterday without a hitch. For those who are still chicken, there is another method to change fonts without flashing; it just involves tweaking ePubs individually to change the font. That sounds a bit difficult, but once it is properly set up in Calibre, it is pretty quick. In my case, tweaking the individual ePubs also got me into Sigil to clean up the formatting also. There is some very good info on this forum about both methods of changing fonts.
