Likely a stupid K4 question. :-)
Hi,
I was given a K2i from my Mil and hacked it to get bolder fonts. Does the K4 have more than one font?

Also,

I like the K2i but was thinking of getting the k4 for Christmas because on full charge, my k2i only gets a couple of days use. I think the K4 would give me better battery life. Do you think it would be a worthy upgrade?

Thanks,

Penny

It is an excellent upgrade, see this thread for my thoughts and down in the end of the first post some links comparing the K4 with other models, including my Kindle 2: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=224405

As for fonts, unfortunately Kindle 4 (some call the black one Kindle 4B or Kindle 5 or $69 Kindle) has only one font with the usual condensed etc. options, but the text is a lot crisper and blacker than on Kindle 2.

Unlike the K2, however, the K4 support KF8 format which permits fonts to be embedded in the book.

Also you can install Font Hack to replace internal fonts with your own.
