the text. The JBL, since the 0.16e firmware update, uses the Adobe Reader Mobile for
.epub and .pdf files.

I take it that you have not yet seen or used a JBL and are addressing issues that you
feel could effect your satisfaction with the device, should you decide to purchase one.

If the use of a sanserif font in .txt files causes you the grief you claim, then perhaps the
JBL is not for you and you should stick to your Kindle.

I apologize for any pain you may be suffering from having to read this sanserif post.

Just trying to learn as much as I can before I drop down money to buy a Jetbook. That's all. I have a preference for serif fonts when reading for extended periods of time.

The purchased B&N content I have doesn't seem to have fonts in it when I crack it open using Sigil.

I apologize if I have pissed anyone off.
