For a beautiful piece of hardware, Sony has extremely lousy software. I am so frustrated with the font size and margin settings that I am thinking of putting my new pink PRS350 on ebay.
After spending the whole day yesterday playing with various ways to setup the correct font size for epub via Calibre, I still cannot find the best font size. I tried using calibre with base font 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13 and none gave the desirable font size with Charis font. Who designed the font settings for the PRS 350 anyway? What a piece of joke it is with 5 settings and none would work. Small is too small and Medium is huge. Who could use Large or X-Small? Can anyone suggest a better solution to the font size?
Next problem: margin. Using calibre to convert epub to epub with all the margins set to 0.0 pt,the margins shown on the reader are still too wide for my taste. For a 5" screen with struggling font problems, a wide margin means less words per screen. Again, who designed such thing?
Unfortunately my PRS350 came with the latest firmware 1.0.00.14080 and PRS+ won't work with it. Is there a work-around solution for this yet?
