Maybe this quirky text formatting doesn’t bug some people, but it bugged me.
I'm guessing you already did this, but: did you try to modify the font size, justification and line spacing? I thought it was pretty customizable and more readable, but I realize there's a matter of personal preference involved.

To save you the trouble of buying a book to try the DRM: unlike MS Reader where you have to active the book through their site \ servers with a Passport account, the DRM is handled strictly at the device level. You don't need to connect to a website or even have your device in a cradle. You simply enter your name and your credit card number used to purchase the book into the reader application. Very simple and not reliant upon any additional interfaces.....
