I don't know if this was a topaz book or not, because I promptly returned it, but I did once buy an amazon book that displayed very oddly on my K1. Parts of some of the letters were missing, as if the press hadn't been completely inked, or as if the type for that letter had been damaged. But a damaged letter (an e with the bottom missing, for instance) wasn't damaged everywhere it appeared--only in a particular occurrence of a particular word.
It was possible to change type sizes, and a word with a damaged letter had the same letter damaged the same way at different type sizes. It reminded me of a scan (image file) of a badly printed page.
My uneducated suspicion is that I was looking at a book where each word was an image of a scanned word, and changing type sizes meant simply switching to smaller or larger images of the same word.
If they did this with other, better printed, books, I can see that this might allow different fonts, but result in slower page turns because of all the images. I'd also expect the books to be much bigger. Does anybody know if topaz books are much bigger than normal azw books?
