I signed up for a trial newspaper subscription yesterday and now 18 hours later I'm still awaiting its arrival. Between that and the fact that there are only a total of 37 magazines/newspapers available through the Kobo Books website, and the fact that the Kobo Store on the Kobo Touch seems clueless to newsstand items, I'm to the point of thinking newstand items on my Touch are not going to happen.

I wanted to see if they were readable. The system font and text rendering on the Kobo Touch is so light and thin as to be nearly impossible to read. Books are okay because you can select your font, so I use a thick, bold font. But I'm curious as to whether we can select fonts on newsstand items, and if not, whether the text will be readable.
