Since it’ll be at least 2—3 months till I’ve put enough aside to buy a Kobo Glo HD, my dad offered to let me borrow his old Nook Glowlight (bnrv500).

Due to a litany of eye issues, I’m keen on the Kobo line for it’s font accessibility settings. Being able to turn the front light off is also essential. I got a chance to try the Aura One out recently, but I think the Glo HD is more suited to my needs (and budget!).

But back to this Nook Glowlight…

Is there anything I can do to get a darker font to read with? I’ve been trying to work with calibre, but I seem absolutely hopeless at it. I keep adjusting the settings in “look & feel” to add an embedded font, but it never follows over to the nook. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve also had mixed results with adjusting margins. I can change the right and left, but not the top and bottom.

Any tips from more experienced calibre users? Or perhaps another solution for my font trouble?
