The new Kindle with 300 dpi and warm lighting looks tempting. The limiting factor is the limited font controls (font size, kine spacing, ...)
You can have custom font sizes on a Kindle with the FONT_RAMP hack (not more sizes, but customized to your liking, i.e. more middle sizes or more large sizes). Margins can be narrowed with Calibre. For line-spacing, sideloading a font with a suitable line-height will help.

I know, it all sounds like a lot more work than it's worth. That's why I'm selling my Oasis now...
