I still don't think Kobo is the right device for me though due to their customer service issues alone. I haven't heard good things and the lighted e-readers can often have screen issues. With Amazon I have a replacement in my hand often overnight. With Kobo the process sounds a lot more painful.

Same here on ever point.
I absolutely love the freedom Kobo users have over how their books look, and am thinking more and more about just risking it and buying an H2O.
I do understand the point of increased support cost to Amazon if they open up their devices for font uploads, though I'd venture to say that only advanced users would even do this sort of thing.
But still. All Amazon has to do is offer a set amount of fonts (10? 20?) you can send to your kindle from the
manage my devices interface. Just have checkmarks for the ones you wish to have on the device, if the number
must be limited (though they could just add a scrollbar to the font selection and let people decide how many they wish to scroll through).
In terms of margins, how hard can it be to add two more settings?!
Someone had the idea for them to charge $5 per additional font. I would not pay that, simply because I get bored with using the same font over and over. At this point, I'd need a lot more fonts to keep me happy. Plus, I would really despise Amazon if they charged me for something that Kobo users get for free.
