Clear Type was the win for MS here. Viable option? Well, in the sense that it's available, and books are available in .LIT format, yes. But I strongly suspect the actual number fo folks using it is a small fraction od the total number of ebook readers.
And I didn't assume you had an MS bias. I just assume very few folks actually use MS Reader to read ebooks these days.
