Now the nook has noticeably thinner lines. Now look at the r and notice how the overhang is too thin. The top of the m is thin. One the 950, the font has more uniform strokes. It is the same font, but when actually comparing them on a nook and a 650 directly, they almost look like they could be two different fonts or different font weights.
Yep, you are right.

If you base this statement on a r that is lighter on the nook than on the sony, on a font that it's even not built-in on the reader I think that you are exaggerating.

But you made the point, now I understood what you mean as poor rendering.
