What do I use?
Each person’s preferences are going to be different, of course. Personally, I have experimented with a number of the font types that are available on the Kindle Paperwhite. After a long time of struggle, I finally settled on the Bookerly font. What you want to do is settle for a font type that does not strain your eyes. That is usually one that you will not even notice, so the bold option is out in this case. I like the Bookerly font because it is very similar to what you will find in real books. Remember, one of the attractions of the Kindle Paperwhite e-ink reader is that it gives you a reading experience that’s similar to what you will get from real, made-from-paper books.
