OT but hopefully someone can answer... Is it normal on the KPW to not be able to change the font? I know this was the case with some books on my T1, but not all. I'm on 3rd book [read 2 novellas] and still can't change the font. is it because I converted all to AZW3 w/o changing any preferences or anything?

It's not a big deal, just prefer a 'sans' type of font rather than basic 'Times'.
Blu, I have not had this issue and every book on my KPW is a conversion - either epub to AZW3 or AZW3 (or mobi) to AZW3. I can change my font and it affects all books on the kindle. In fact, after my issues this week where at one point I did a factory restore, when it came back up, I was shocked to see a different font - once I had changed it before I never had to think about it again and basically forgot that what I had wasn't the norm.

I'm not sure how you are trying to do it, but in an open book, tap the top of the screen to bring up the icons and there should be the Aa icon under the home icon. When you tap on that, it will bring up a box where you can change the size or the font. I'm like you, I prefer 'sans' and use the helvetica option.

A caveat - I do nothing in calibre to affect font, so if you have some settings set up there, I wonder if that blocks making changes from the PW...
