I think this might be part of it. I've been paying close attention to my nook touch and the fonts look decidedly pixelated, like they're being anti-aliased. My sony 505 did some very mild anti-aliasing of fonts, but this is far more noticeable. I don't know if the degree of apparent anti-aliasing is related to the limited screen refreshes or if it's part of how the fonts are displayed by the software, but the edges are not sharp like I expect them to be.
