All good points all around.

I intensely dislike caecilia too, and find futura and helvetica not great either.

One of the reasons I opted for the kindle was exactly all that wasted space on the kobo, that ridiculous wasted 2 cm space.

I've not yet bothered to use the font tweak for the kindle, although I thought it was one of the first things I thought I 'd install. Although I am fully aware that it's urgently required, and that amazon has done very averagely when it comes to available fonts, and margins, even worse than average maybe. I 'll get around to it I guess soon. But it did sway me toward the kpw, as I knew that were the kobo had an edge, one could get that easily with a tweak in the kpw.

At the end of the day I ended up really liking the overall reading and software experience. (as an aside, I also really like how I have the store built in and I can check out some of the reviews when I am reading a book. And I have been very positively impressed by the experimental browser.)
