I don't understand why FBReader isn't more popular. At least the desktop version that I tested on my Linux PC offers far superior font rendering with true kerning and even automatic ligatures.

@bhaak: Well, freetype's kerning might be better than nothing, but it's far from ideal. I might take a look at HackedUpReader though, if I get a newer Kindle.

@sadowski: Huh, that's weird. Even more so because Charis SIL has no kerning information included.
