And in those 6 years "adding a font" was not an out of box option for the Kindle either  |
Things have changed quite a bit in the last few releases, but my main issue (in the pre-"no header", pre-"no footer" days) was the wasted space on the screen. I spent quite a bit of time trying to "fix" that without the patches. But even then, when I've got the controls to finely tune the fonts, I'm constantly trying to fine-tune them. Too light, too thick ... never quite right. Let me try this ... Now that I've got my dark fonts on the Kobo, Kindle and Tolinos (and embed it for the Sonys) I hardly worry about the fonts. So things have changed.
As for the dictionary, that's always been an important part of my reading. I grew up with a full-sized, 1913, Indian Paper
Webster's New International Dictionary and I used to pore over that for hours. (This is the same dictionary Pocketbook supplies as their default English dictionary, which I think is cool.)
