You could be right. A few weeks ago I found out that there was a new firmware, but saw no changes except the usual "we fixed some bugs" , so I updated. The one change I have noticed (on my KPW1) is that there is now a search history.

It could be that the font rendering has changed, but it would be quite stupid, to be honest. Everything below size 5 is smaller than the letters in my paperbacks (3, 2 and 1 are just tiny, tinier, and tiny-ad-absurdum), and 6 is fracking huge. 5 is the only setting that now works for me.

Do the input and output profiles in Calibre actually make a noticable difference? I've never tested that.
