Wonderful! Will be nice to see what someone used to doing these finds out. Kinda threw the setup together with regard to the shots looking forward to that as well; however, did use tripod for inside shots.

Some of the books I'm getting are going to be DRMd LRF format; so, I don't think I can convert those? (Also, thinking of this as a general public solution, not just for myself.)

Verdana x-height - agreed. But, the Courier displays similar reflective/blurry characteristics as the Georgia I used - and has a slightly larger x-height than Verdana (but, also slightly larger serif than the Georgia).

I also noticed that some fonts seem to be almost anti-aliased. Arial for instance was very heavy - which is why I used Verdana for this "quickie." However, the m-width for Verdana is wider than that of Arial; so, that might be a good factor to think about as well.

Maybe the reader anti-aliases some fonts when they are books - but not the menu??

Anyway, definitely looking forward to your results.

Cheers,
Josh
