I assume you tried DejaVu Serif Fat. Thanks for trying
As Caecilia is about perfect for me (apart from the fact that I don't really like its looks), I've tried to make DejaVu Serif as fat as Caecilia is. They already have the same size. So, they become interchangeable not gaining or loosing lines on the same screen, apart from a few words maybe.
Wasn't Caecilia the name of the designer's wife? I read that somewhere a few days ago. Therefore maby he doesn't like us speaking about "thin", "fat", "weight" and "sharing" with regard to this font
Hehe. If I'd make a fat version of DejaVu Sans, it would actually be called DejaVu Sans Fat, and be fatter than the original, exactly opposite to what the name says

Can't you just add the font to the iPhone?
If you want it for the Kindle and like thin fonts (Goodfish certainly is thin), then you could use the default version. If you would like to try a version as fat as Caecilia, then try mine from some posts higher up

IMHO, judging a font on a screen with different DPI does not really work well. On my laptop (98 dpi) and especially desktop computer (89 dpi) screens, fonts look much fatter than on the Kindle itself, which has 216 dpi. That's logical, as the pixels on the computer monitors are larger.
Therefore I don't expect fonts such as DejaVu Serif Fat to work well on older e-readers; the font might be too fat there.
