For me the hack made a big difference.
first off, i think the thread you gave was the wrong one, but THANKS SO MUCH, i found the alternate font thread and did it! much improved!
here is the thread:

having said that, i did go through hell to do it: my kindle crashed when i rebooted it the first time. i think the reason is that i didn't properly disconnect the kindle from the USB port of my macbook (didn't hit the "eject" icon first), hence i think the font file may have been corrupt. i then had to read the other thread, and put my kindle into recovery mode luckily, it snapped out of it, i put a font file on it properly, and it worked. my fault for not disconnecting the kindle properly from the USB

font looks great though, the helvitica...not perfect, but much improved, to the point that i dont think i'll call CS or return it now (just got it today). thanks!
