I like the lack of margins and I don't mind the font, but the ragged right justification drives me bonkers. I prefer buying books from other sources anyway, so I've gotten into the habit of stripping the DRM off the epubs (a hassle to figure out initially but now it only takes a minute) and then using Calibre to convert it into a .lrf: I set it to use a 10-point font and otherwise just tell it to use the Sony Reader standard settings, and the end result looks just how I like it. And that way, I still have the DRM-free epub on my system to move over to a different brand of reader if I ever get one.

The whole process is a pain though, I hope Sony releases a firmware update that at least fixes the justification.
