The screen resolution and font size is different, and there is a fault with the KEPUB formatting in 3.1.0 to do with the spacing between the chapter header and the text. But apart from the layout differences I can't see any obvious difference in the font rendering regards anti-aliasing, hinting, or anything. Having a screenshot from the save device would be better of course.
That's hilarious because to me those two images are like chalk and cheese! The shapes of the letters look so incredibly different.

I'll take a screenshot on my device and then upgrade the firmware and take another of the exact same page with the same weight/sharpness settings so that we can compare.. maybe I can show some of the letters side by side.

Thanks so much for trying the -kobo-font-hintstyle! What a shame that there is no apparent change. I wonder what it *is* that's causing this difference!
