Well you guys are probably drinking... CocaCola or something cuz I see no difference in my font whatsoever - I even compared it to my girlfriend's kindle and my background seemed actually darker... maybe my eyes are getting tired??
On the good note, the update went like a breeze
download, upgrade, restart automatically, all works fine with all my hack and stuff.
and yeah the raspberry is now connected to my mini mpk... no more kindleberry pi for me !!
