Otherwise, your site is great. I especially like the customization feature, allowing one to select their own typeface/size.

Right now, all the text goes through flex before being formatted in PDF using LaTeX. Since all of this post-processing is independent from the text itself, we'll keep on improving this part of the formatting too.
I've been busy improving the support for RSS feeds lately (and also working on a tool that will autosync these feeds/newspapers to your reader), and adding more advanced features on the website itself (we're logging what users download now in order to provide advices, something similar to what Amazon provides). But we're going to work on improving the formatting too in the upcoming weeks. I'll do a new template today for the iLiad users and post it both here and in the official iRex forum, this way, people can vote for the best suited font.
