It uses Times Roman and the other book uses Minion Pro and both fonts both are ugly! Yes I picked them apart to see what font I was stuck with. Minion isn't too bad but the words are spaced too far apart. I can fix this by converting them to mobi but other then editing them I am stuck with the font.


Okay Added the book. The option there's now but it doesn't work on other KF8s I have. I have quite a few but only two with ugly fonts I don't like and would like to turn them off.

It also doesn't work with my custom font. I am stuck with Caecilia if I turn off the font on the book I just downloaded. Yuk!

I just notice the book above is a mobi. I am guessing the new version of mobi. The books I am talking about are AZW3. I wonder if that makes a difference?
