i received a new k2i yesterday (to Australia) and the difference in the text/display is amazing when compared with my October 2009 kindle. Much clearer, bolder? font and the contrast between the display and the text way better (maybe lighter background?). The new one certainly doesnt need the font hack. Maybe they have been using the new eink system for a while now. But not saying anything as people would start returning their older ones for the new ones. Or complaining about not getting one.

Thnkpadx, not every country has converted to metrics. USA hasnt for most things. And until they do and us originals die out, and that wont be in your lifetime, it will continue to be the case. But by then they will have developed a new system anyway - built in obsolesence and all that.
