I don't stare at the sleep screens on any of my devices. If the sleep screen is on, I'm not using the device.

The newer versions have 14 font sizes, 5 weight settings, and 9 font faces. Surely there is a combo that is acceptable for most users.

I don't understand the fussing over lighting temps, and probably never will. I'm 60, have had terrible vision since I was 5, but have no issues with the adjustable font lighting on any of the Kindles I've owned.

With adjustments when needed, I've always been able to get a font face/size, margin, line spacing, and light setting that works for my particular needs at that moment. The options are an embarrassment of riches as far as I'm concerned. Any e-ink reader I've used, Kindle or Kobo, are simply wonderful, because I can read again. Something I'd lost before my first Kindle in 2009.

I'd rather enjoy the benefits than focus on the shortcomings.
i couldn't agree less. i have far more control over all three, font size, margins and line spacing on my Kobo's than i do on my Kindle Basic 8th generation. only having 14 font sizes when i often want the size in-between isn't very good or only having 3 margins seems an unnecessarily rigid system to me.

the key words in your post are (as far as i'm concerned) obviously everyone as their own subjective opinion on what they want/don't want. my overarching point is why not give a wider scope on the aforementioned options therefore hopefully accommodating for more people's individual preferences.
