Possibly it's something to do with the way you read and it may be that eink doesn't suit you personally. But it's probably too early to tell yet. Do try some more fonts besides the default ones. Personally I don't like any of the Kobo default fonts, not even Georgia.
What I like about paper books is that usually the font is dark and the background is white. The only way I can get this on the ereader is with good background lighting. Still not the same however.

I'll continue to look for new fonts and maybe I'll go see an eye-doctor anyway.

I just find it strange that reading many paper books with many fonts type or size is OK while reading on an ereader isn't. That said, I think light might be the solution; I only read paper books when there is very good lighting.

Still looking.

Thanks for the help!
