The Kindle’s rendering is slightly more readable, with the Nook’s too often aligning on half-pixel boundaries, resulting in thin gray strokes. This is least noticeable with Caecilia but is problematic with the thinner fonts, especially Gill Sans and Trebuchet."
So it seems the posts confirm this review, unless someone can say otherwise.

Oh please I would not be using that marco review and treat it like the Gospel. Just reading the first paragraph you knew he was a kindle fanboy.
It's an amateur hour hack write up.
