No, but there are books with a certain font choice that I find hard to read.

Yes, I agree with that. But.

I have 3 readers I use regularly. Each device has its own font I prefer on it. The sizes of the screena are different, resolutions are different, technologies even are different. The font I'm currently using on my Mini is next to unreadable on my JE100. Mainly because contrast is completely different (dark on light vs light on dark). So, let's say I bought an ebook and the publisher of that ebook decided to use that certain font. It would force me to read it on a certain reader, because on the other it's not really fun to read.

Which is why I just love the mobipocket reader. I can decide how I want to read my books. What colours to use, what fonts to use, what margins to use, etc.
