Also, when using arial or times, the smallest font size is still too big along with the space between lines.

Actually, what would be
very nice would be a unified config management for all the various reader apps on the V3: have them all search first the SD card and then the internal flash memory for a config directory. This directory should contain a) a simple text file containing settings for font face (maybe even separate entries for the user's choice of serif and sans-serif fonts, or at least entries for bookshelf font and book font?), font size, interline spacing, interparagraph spacing, justify (left, right, both) and perhaps a few other things, and b) a fonts subdirectory where you can dump the TrueType fonts to use. If you want to replace the boot and shutdown screens, the image files should also go into this directory.
In other words, have all user-specific configuration available uniformly for all apps from one well-defined place. Having one config file for each reader app instead of a single one for all of them might also be acceptable, as long as they are all in the same place.
It should further be possible to change all these settings from the settings menu in the bookshelf and in the various apps.
After fixing the annoying crash (red light) and hang/reboot (green light) bugs, this is my biggest wishlist item for improving the V3, now that the Mobipocket reader seems to have reached a usable state.
