The point is simple, he is formatting a book in a font he likes at a font size he likes for the ereader he likes, how is it this simple fact is escaping you.
You did notice the JBL has a size 32 font? I bet it isn't there for show and many people use it so they can avoid using reading glasses.

First off he never complained about the font options, are you even reading what he is writing? He did state that he liked a certain font, that's sort of the opposite of complaining.
Also did you note that he isn't just formatting for font type but also font size. Virtually every book can be purchased with large fonts.

If you prefer Andalus, then don't buy the JBL. When I bought it, I knew exactly what I was getting.

He bought the product knowing full well he could format any book the way he wanted it to the size of the JBL and read it on the JBL. He wasn't limited in his thinking that the device was restricted to what was on the side of the box.

Right now you are complaining/whining about another happy user of the JBL creating books for the JBL that suit his purpose.

Now you're talking nonsense. He hasn't complained about the number of fonts and your example is complete rubbish.
He is saying Hey Everyone! I bought a box of crayons that claimed to hold only one color but with this free tool I was easily able to get it to hold any color I want.

Exactly
you get what you pay for and he paid for a ereader that, with a free tool, does play all of those 3D games, or weren't you paying attention?

The essence of your argument is ode to skunk. You have been so far off the mark .....
The last part is the bottom line
what you see is what you get. He saw a ereader at an amazing price that would do so much more then was advertised. For the life of me I have no idea what you saw.
