But silver lining and all that. Maybe all this negative publicity over the state of Kindle font rendering will finally prompt Amazon to do something about it!

What "fiaco" and negative publicity are you talking about? (did you mean "fiasco"?)
Can you link to the post on Slashdot that you're talking about, please?
