I agree. Amazon is not listening to customers needs/wants. A lot of customers want to be able to set their own margins and their own line-height and they want more/better fonts. Kindle fonts tend to not have enough weight. The front light tents to make Kindle fonts look washed out. Most people cannot get fonts on a Kindle that has better weight. Also, the second and third set to settings are worthless. So really, Amazon is not ging people much of a choice. They are treating customers like they are stupid.

This is one feature that Kobo did right and it really does help people who have vision trouble. Not only do you get many more font sizes, you also can up the weight for all the system fonts and for most people, they'll be able to find a system font to use that they are happy with.
