badbob001,
The font differences may be down to the books and the fact the 1000 uses mobi and the 800 is epub. |

Right, but is that a factor in the perception of sharpness? I guess we'll find out when the DR1000 is upgraded to the same level of firmware... or perhaps a comparison of two pdfs with the same embedded font.

Pic1: iRex 1000S. Pic2: iRex 800S, original layout. Pic3: iRex 800S, increasing font size to have about same measurements as on iRex 1000S. Text appears a bit darker on iRex 1000S, contrast a bit higher. Last edited by mgmueller; 02-27-2010 at 10:58 AM. |

I don't know why most vendors stick with Adobe's fonts - they are totally free to switch to better default fonts. Bookeen and B&N have user selectable default fonts for ePubs, which is the best approach of all. |
