Which is why I offered some alternative ways of increasing legibility on the PRS-900.
The default fonts are what they are. They cannot be changed. The only way to change the fonts is to embed different fonts.

Making the font size larger may not be wanted. Making the font bold won't work in every case as some books do use bold. Landscape may not be wanted. There isn't a solution other than to embed or a different Reader. The 900 has a touch layer that diminishes sharpness and contrast. There's nothing that can be done about that. It is what it is and it is not all that good and what the OP wants is not able to be done easily. No firmware version will help. There are no hacks/mods for the 900 to fix this. Only embedding a font with more weight such as ChareInk will work. But the problems such as reflection and what I mentioned won't be going away.
