Check out the following screen grab from a Sony Reader 950. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...4&d=1308939746

That is using Charis SIL. If anyone with a nook is unsure if you have any eBooks use this font, download one of the samples of any of the new Star Wars eBooks. They use Charis SIL. Then compare the two. I'd like to get opinions from nook STR owners.

To be honest, I'm not sure you should have your GF get a nook. Especially with no word on if B&N is going to fix the font rendering engine.
I took your screen grab, chopped it to 600x800, and made it a screensaver image on Nook. It looks perfectly fine, and demonstrates nothing other than than it's not a hardware issue.

I went to get one of the Star Wars samples you suggested, but cultural elitest that I am, I have no idea which are 'new' and which are 'old'. I need a title, please.
