On the 8th Generation Basic I use Palatino at the 2nd Boldness level and 3rd (sometimes the 2nd) font size. I still think the Kindle 4's/Keyboard's font is "crisper" than the 8's, but it probably has something to do with the Palatino font. I'm pretty sure that the 8th Generation has an Infrared touch screen instead of capacitive one.
