I solve that issue by using Constantia, which (in my mind) has its boldness set about perfectly "as is." In some ways I find the Kobo a little distracting because it encourages "tweaking," and I find myself tweaking it too much. I also like the way the PocketBook renders the fonts a little better.

But there is another complaint about the PocketBook that some folks definitely want fixed. You can't change to justified text, if the book comes with a "ragged edge." That seems to bother some readers (probably more than some) who use the PocketBooks.

The PocketBook software is definitely less "tweakable" than the Kobo software -- but it has other features that, for me, more than make up for it.
