That problem has now been corrected, so here are my own impressions of the Georgia-test file I posted some time ago:
a) and b): 10/12 is too tight: Georgia has rather high x-height, and clearly needs more leading.
c) seems a shade too tight (10/12.2)
d) seems about right for my eyes (10/12.5), although there is some crowding in one or two places.
e) Georgia 9.5 is possibly a little small for the iLiad (or its PDF reader), but leading seems OK for the size. (I wish I knew how much scaling the PDF reader applies ...)
I thought d) would be too large, but the lack of contrast of the e-paper needs a bit more from the text, so this works better than I expected.
Apart from that: top and bottom margins may be a little too small. The top edge throws a rather heavy shadow that eats up the margin (if light comes from the wrong place). And I'd like to see a bit more space between the
lowest text line and those pesky icons at the right. The latter is the more irritating: I'd drop the bottom line before I increased the top margin.
Georgia is not ideal for the iLiad, though: it wants something blacker.
Probably Utopia or something like that ...
And I'm getting seriously irritated over the iLiad's inability to be both USB-connected and read PDF files ...
