I think it must partly depend on your eyes. My problem with the Kindle Touch was not the
shape of the fonts but how light they were. Not enough contrast for me. I was frustrated that the ads were nice and dark and contrasty and the fonts were almost gray. But the Constantia font changed that. It's the only one I use on the Kindle Touch. As for the Sony (I've got the T2) I have grown to like its fonts. I just finished a history book on it and now about half way through a novel I borrowed from the library – so I'm getting to like the T2 quite a bit.

I'll have to take a look at it. Thanks. That's partly why I like Constantia. The font seems more "vertical" and less cramped.
