Actually, that could be possible. I purposefully didn't take a position on which was better. As you mentioned, on my Kindle2 I found an issue with the original fonts, and I'm convinced it is because of the anti-aliasing versus the original Kindle. A scanned pdf might be sharper than an actual font if the scan is black and white and not grayscale.
As I said earlier I could argue it either way. I was just suggesting there was a difference, not what the difference was.
