I have a writing project for school, in which I am discussing how to create ebooks from word files (I'll probably use Calibre and touch a bit on Sigil, although Sigil is awfully powerful for my audience).

I want to discuss typography: setting fonts, line spacing, things like that.

I know you can't do any of that on the Kindle. The Sony 350 and 650 let you install fonts, and I think you can set line spacing and some margin spacing. I know Calibre lets you set fonts and other things in the Sony. The new Sony TI comes with 6 installed fonts, or so I'm told.

What I don't know anything about are the Nooks. Do any of the Nooks allow you to play with fonts, line spacing, and margins? or are they all pre-set by B&N, and you can't change things without a hack?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
