Jack - the bottom text is much more readable to my eyes too. I find it annoying that Amazon doesn't simply allow more font selections on the PW's. I'm baffled why they give such a skimpy selection. |
I'm not a programmer, but it seems like it would not be difficult to allow users to add fonts. Sony offered that with their x00 and x50 readers.* Granted not all fonts will look good on an eInk reader. I see that from time to time with embedded fonts that are not optimized for the reader. But Amazon should at least offer us that ability with the understanding that some fonts will look like poop on the reader. There are plenty of people who would and have made available nice workable fonts.
Again, I'm not a programmer, but it seems like it would be possible to give us a setting to allow us to turn up the weight of the included fonts. One of the reader I had a while back had that feature. I think it might have been the Kobo Touch.
* Well sort of. You can add fonts to a font folder then use CSS to access them. Perhaps I should say Sony didn't prevent us from adding fonts.
