You create a .css file for each font you want on the reader and just switch the font by changing which .css file is used.
Does this mean that, assuming you created a .css file for 3 different fonts, you can change to any of those 3 fonts while you are reading, without plugging the ereader into your PC?

Is there a step-by-step guide for creating the .css files and how to switch fonts while using the reader? I currently convert each book using the "extra css" option in Calibre. This works fine but if I wanted to change the font, I would have to re-convert and re-download the books to the reader. I like the idea of being able to change font, such as to a serif font if I am in a serif mood, while reading.

I appreciate those of you who know what you are doing helping those of us who don't.
