But it seems that only true type fonts are compatible.

How can I download this font?

I don’t see KFX in the file format output options when I convert from another format via Calibre. Nor do I see how to “Always create book instead of personal document”. I have the latest version of Calibre.

Save them to your Kindle from Calibre in the KFX file format with the “Always create book instead of personal document” box enabled. Also make sure to delete other kindle formats of the book before transferring such as AZW or Mobi.

I’ve never seen an auto-update work on it and the manual update is a pain.

I still create Kindle books for publication, but I’ve pretty much abandoned reading them. I yanked the Kindle reader off my iPhone a couple of years back. It’d grown so bloated with features I didn’t use, that I didn’t have space for it. If it wants to sell ebooks, Amazon needs to create a just-for-reading Kindle Lite for those with older iPhones.

Now, if they would let me install custom screensvaer images I would have no need to jailbreak.
