That's been fixed with current Gen3s; I agree - it was an issue with the 64MB models.
I didn't realize the "leading" was tied to the font. That would be worth playing with - if I liked the Cybook enough to take the time. And I'm just not willing to spend another $400 to see if the 512MB model is really better.

It would be so nice if all these readers would be carried in retail stores so we could test-drive them before ordering.

It was actually the Sony 505 on display at Borders that kept tempting me to upgrade initially from the 500. The screen really was so much brighter - on the 505 and the Cybook, too. I was perfectly happy with my 500 until I played with the 505 (even though I prefer the button placement on my old 500).
