Sorry that you're so disappointed. As for me, I couldn't care less about kerning. The Bookerly font is somewhat disappointing too, though, it's light grey instead of black. But I didn't have any huge expectations about it, so I'm not too sad. Word spacing has certainly improved.

I love my eink kindles. It's absolutely impossible for me to read novels on a tablet - too heavy, and backlit screen tires my eyes. But to each his own.
