Press the Aa button at the bottom. This brings up fonts, line spacing and font size for you.

I must be one of the few who prefers the sans serif font. I find it easier on my eyes combined with the font size it's just that much easier to read. I played around with all three fonts and a couple of sizes to see which was best.

I am slightly reluctant to hack my K3 but I really really don't like the fonts Amazon gives you just doesn't feel like any type face I am used to.

I'm happy not to have any other font choices as I don't want to spend all my time fiddling with changing things - I just want to get on and read!

With my Pocketbook 360 I actually came to dislike the fact that I could use any font I wanted and that it could be customised to the nth degree because I just wasted too much time fiddling. Too much choice isn't always a good thing!
My thoughts exactly!
I just sold my PB360... I was so done with fiddling around. That being said, though, I'm glad I got it, fiddled with it, and completely satisfied my geeky curiosity.

Thank you! That was simple. I prefer sans serif but had been reading with the default font. It was pretty, but the sans serif is easier to read. I use the font hack Helvetica2 on my K2 and KDX.
