For the current low contrast eInk screen, I think the only way to make text looks clearer is using heavier font. Although it is not a good mimic to physical book, it is still an acceptable compromise. I'm using an old 500 only, therefore I prefer using bigger font size and there are always complaints about it from other 505 users.

I personally dislike (actually hate is a better term) sans-serif chinese fonts like hei or yuan since they simply lost the Chinese character's feel and taste (calligraphy). But on the contrary some people are very fond of using MS YaHei instead of Ming/Song, so that is a very personal taste.

As for the future, since I always keep the source HTML and I can generate a new book within seconds so that's not my main concern.

Attached is a book using smaller font size which 505 users urged. It is 26 chars by 24 rows.
