Unfortunately, if the text is already at a smaller size, the anti-aliasing might make the font appear thinner than it is and the anti-aliasing may even bleed into the body of the font/object effectively fading the entire text somewhat. In those cases the larger font sizes should make the text appear darker than in the smaller sizes, but I would certainly like to see some more font rendering settings on the 700. A lot of it can be avoided by optimizing the files for the 700 before putting them on there, but I haven't personally optimized any of my books yet since I just got my reader yesterday. 
Would much rather see an official Sony firmware update than a community patch. Hoping Sony had a good enough Christmas that they kick it up a notch and crank out some needed updates for the readers and the library software. |
I'm fairly new to this forum, but I have never heard of optomizing files before loading to the device. Would you, or someone else, please enlighten me as to how this can benefit the appearance of books on the reader? Thanks.
