Bottom line: fiddling with fonts and text sizes to "fix" what is obviously a very serious bug that never should have made it through final testing is just annoying and dumb. For $140, I expect it to just work properly out of the box. I shouldn't have to wait for updates or use annoying workarounds that may or may not resolve the issue.

At first I thought this could just be a bug with this one book, but two pages of people having the same problem tells me this is a systematic fault that should have been caught during production and testing.

I'll be returning this unit and getting something different. In a market with that much competition, the makers of e-readers can't afford to be so sloppy.
The updates are here, this only was a problem for a couple of weeks. Hook it up the internet through WiFi or the desktop app and it will update.
