My eyesight is about 15/20. The text is blurry as is confirmed below. As I mentioned previously changing the font size does not solve the problem. (BTW I do enjoy audiobooks too, thank you.) I don't know what Apple has done to the font rendering but it is certainly not on par with the Macbook Pro. I suspect two reasons: 1) The dpi is not great enough to be used as an effective ereader and 2) they had to make compromises in the algorithm to accommodate both landscape and portrait views.
