If you mean to have all books use your font without changing the .css file as you've been doing, no... you need a custom firmware for that. Just change one book using the Arial Bold to test it the same way you've tested other books, you might like it better than the LexiaDaMa. While I usually prefer sans serif fonts on all my PCs and in all programs (I love the cleaner look), for reading on the Sony I found the serif font to be a better choice for me. I read often though on public transportation, where you get jostled around somewhat, so that could have some bearing.

I'll admit I've been tempted to do it also but for the screenshot feature (at least I think Boroda lets you take a screenshot of any page on all installs).
