BestText.... I love how our marketing department loves to brand/trademark everything.
We did a lot of work in the 1.1 update replacing the font rendering engine, in favor of one that is tuned (along with the fonts) for an eInk display. The crisper looking text is in large part because we are making sure that stems are pixel boundary aligned wherever possible. I've been very happy with the results, especially at the smaller font sizes (but I'm extremely biased).
For the EPUB3, not yet on the Touch. On Color/Tablet, not really either, however we are working on getting the fixed-format solutions (comics/magazines) included as part of an EPUB3 update. The more interactive bits of EPUB3 are lagging a bit in a morass of lack of the CreationTools/Reader swirl, but we are working on breaking that.
