Fonts of the PRS T1

As you can see, watching a video in German language on You Tube (url
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=EGHLZLGk-18 - expecially at the minute 1.20 of the video), on the PRS T1 you can chose 7 fonts: Original, Amasis (s), Frutingen Neue (ss), Palatino Nova (s), Really no 2 (s), Univers Next (ss), Verdana (ss) (s means serif font, ss means sans-serif: so 3 are serif and 3 are sans-serif).

J don’t understand why they insist with the sans-serif fonts, since for reading the serif are better (have you ever seen a newspaper with sans-serif fonts?).

The best font appear the Amasis (better than the one in the Nook Touch) and not bad is Really no 2. But there are no font condensed.

You can choose 8 different sizes of the fonts (instead of the previous 6 sizes of the 50 series), that I hope are more gradual.

Apparently there is no way to change the line spacing and to shrink the page (as Nook Touch and Kindle do), and it seems impossible to justify the text.

Moreover, there is no hyphenation (as in the Nook Touch).

The movie confirm that the new pinch of the screen allow you to magnify the text, without reflowing it. In the same manner it is actually possible with the font menu of the 50 series.
