I know newer readers have much better viewing options but I don't like the fact that they all connect to the internet these days. I am a bit paranoid and don't want Amazon or any other similar company tracking me as I roam around with my reader. I put all my books on my laptop and just let that connect to my readers.
Anyway, I have finally bitten the bullet and got rid of all my lrf files - a huge step forward for me!

One thing you can do is install Fontforge (font editor) and use that it increase the weight of book antiqua. You have to do it for all 4 of font styles. Then when you embed this font, you can have it displayed at the weight you like. The default weight is too light for Sony Readers.
I've had Sony Readers and I moved to Kobo and I like it much better then any Sony Reader. One thing you can do with a Kobo that you cannot do with a Aony is that you can increase the weight of fonts. You can even side load them and choose which font you want to use. Plus the screen is much better given the improved resolution and contrast. And you have a front light to read in low/no light situations.
