I do have kepub looking pretty good on my 6" Clara screen, using the webkitTextRendering=geometricPrecision hack, the Set KePub hyphenation patch and Jon's hyphenation dictionary. I just wish you didn't have to go through that much work to make it look better. My old Nook Simple Touch has better layout out of the box.

But I do like other kepub features, which is why I use them.
