Still not fixed as of the January 18 2012 firmware. I sent them another complaint. Maybe other people can complain, too?

What's ironic is that if you sit away from the screen and look at each one as material to be read, the landscape font comes off looking less 'sharp' maybe because of appearance of better convergence of 'colors' but with the vertical lines in this one all orange'y too. The portrait font's horizontal orange lines won't be seen as orange with normal reading but they seem to give it more 'definition' though looking at it closely it's ugly... As I said, ironic.

The reversed landscape grid squares just look as if the microscope is terribly out of focus with the orange part the only one 'in' :-) They all look awful 15x larger.

With my eyes looking at the font in its intended size, it's been very readable to me for an LCD screen, but I do put the dimmer on all LCD reader screens down to about 7%.

My perspective on this is odd - I do Photoshop editing at pixel level of course, often, so I'm looking at this in a different way.
