I generally use the Bold version, but in bright sun-light I use the non-Bold because the Bold becomes ugly and clunky. Probably with the front-light, I might not need the Bold font. But I really don't think *need* is the point here. I could manage without hot running water if I had to. Or e-readers.
But each to their own. Personally, the PW2 options are too dumbed-down for me. Why remove functionality? It's not a question of compatibility vs stability that is so often cited as a justification for the very narrow options offered on the PW2 (as compared to the Kobo). I run Coolreader on a Nook ST with multiple options (including being able to set margins to exactly what I want), and it never crashes or requires a reboot or even slows down.
Perusing the font / formatting options on the PW2, I was genuinely surprised. I remember the older Kindles providing a lot more formatting options (such as line-spacing). Perhaps I'm mistaken about that, or maybe the PW2 offers that. I couldn't see it.
