I have 206 books in Calibre all stripped of DRM. Like Bill Gates I read about 50 books a year and I try to read for at least an hour day. An hour a day translates to a book a week. Not bad really since I read some really challenging non-fiction. So If someone is only read a book or few a week then converting them to embedded font books , with bookerly or ember, should take like 10 minutes.
A lot of folks here have no problem jumping through all kinds of hoops to strip DRM from their books (I actually don't know if lumpynose does this) but once I mention embedding fonts , like bookerly and ember, they don't want to be hassled. Converting the book with the embedded fonts is pretty quick actually in Calibre. I just get the feeling that a lot of people here are lazy or tech incompetent. That is just the impression I get.
BTW, I currently reading a pure mathematics book in Georgia font and it is fine for me and it is fine for the number 1 ranked Android reader on the market Aldiko. If Aldiko is number 1 then Georgia can't be bad.
