But you presumably knew this before buying the Kindle, right? If fonts are important to you (and personally I couldn't give a damn about them), would it not, as Jon suggests, have been more sensible to buy a different model of reading device which allows you to load your own fonts? It seems a little unreasonable to criticise a device for not doing something it never claimed to be able to do. I like the Kindle a lot, but it's self-evidently not a good choice of device if being able to load your own fonts is an essential feature for you.
