Companies can definitely use software to increase readability. Kindle has only one font, so they could optimize font hinting to the max. There's a review by Marco Arment (http://www.marco.org/2011/06/03/nook...e-touch-review) in which he says
"The Kindle’s rendering is slightly more readable, with the Nook’s too often aligning on half-pixel boundaries, resulting in thin gray strokes. " So Kindle can have darker fonts. People seeing this?
