As it happens, "Georgia" is my favourite book-reading font, and on my previous Gen3 I'd copied the font from my PC.

The version of the font pre-installed on the Gen3, however, has a much narrower line spacing than the PC version - I find that the lines are too close together. I've therefore deleted the pre-installed font and re-copied the font from my PC onto the new Gen3. I far prefer the wider line spacing of the PC version of the font, although it means that you get a couple fewer lines on the screen.

Just thought this might be useful to anyone who's also found the line gaps to be too narrow with the supplied font. I think you get "Georgia" when you install IE7 - it's certainly very commonly found on Windows PCs.
I've got Georgia , of course , on my Cybook - I understand what you mean about the line spacings , but interestingly I would prefer them to be even narrower than I've currently got ...
