The only eInk reader which allows you to load whatever fonts you wish is the CyBook Gen3.
I've been thinking about this some more, and it seems to me that if I burn new font to replace the existing, factory fonts instead of embedding them into the document, I can get close to what I want except that resizing is still rather limited. Its a shame that Sony decided to limit their on-device formatting so much.

I guess for me personally, instead of deciding how I want things to look up front at document conversion time, I'd like to defer until reading time as much formatting as possible (eg: paragraph first line indentation, size of margins, justification, hyphenation, kerning, font face, font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing, widow/orphan control etc.) so that I can find something comfortable to match the text and my surroundings, and the hell with what publishers want a book to look like
