Allowing font selection for MOBI is a plus over the iLiad, which also uses the Java MoibiPocket Reader and has no easy way to change fonts for MOBI. I saw in another thread that it still uses the way to big line spacing shared by all the other Java Readers (including the Kindle).

You can put additional .ttf fonts in the Fonts directory on the SD card, see Bebook PDF font size. I assume you then need to reboot to get the new fonts. Are these selectable for FB2 and/or MOBI?
