I was not aware of that. I've seen people who like the font, but obviously that's all just hearsay.

As you said, changing font and font size is a huge benefit. I know for me, I read a lot easier thanks to my e-reader, even though I don't suffer from any reading issues. It is just mich, much easier to adjust to what my eyes like and keep myself in the book, distraction free (turning paper pages is distracting to me...)
