But the bottom line is: Kobo does it without having to embed special fonts in every single book, and looks at least as well as any Kindle screen will and better than some.

It appears to me the right side (PW2), was able to achieve a higher boldness than Glo HD.This is in itself is surprising me, I though it should be the other way around. In which Glo HD should be technically adhering more to CSS/HTML with epub3 (unless it had to be something with kepub).
Back to the picture, with one to one comparison, it's disappointing that too much margin is wasted on PW2. However, the leak of resolution is might be in fault with the right side, as the left is more sharper while the right side is more blurry.
Still for Amazon Kindle, adding fonts won't be necessary, if it could render shadow correctly then boldness effects could be achieved.
