I have no idea why Kindle was so slow to add that, even my Sony 350s were capable of it from over 8 years ago, and a feature I can't do without. I have a Kindle PW2, but I use it to just download a free book each month, I never read on it.
Sony Readers never had the ability to increase the weight of fonts. This was never part of the firmware. The 350 was no different than the 650 in that respect.
