Any chance you could document the process? I believe a lot of people will be willing to help to get new versions out quicker.

I just have to have time to do this. I've not had the time. One problem is I don't know how the increased weight translates to different programs to get the same weight.

Your welcome. It also works well on Kobo also.

Perhaps a release of the 6.2 version without added weights might be alright seeing as how most e-readers support adding it manually?

Also, as per the official website, the 6.2 does not have any significant changes to line spacing, glyph widths, or kerning versus the 6.1 to avoid layout changes, so the modifications might be easier than anticipated.
