I suppose that we will just have to agree to disagree. I've tested every single font for which I posted screen shots with AT LEAST an hour or two of reading each (something that I doubt anyone else on this forum or most others can claim), with the exception of the ones I posted last night, and, again, Caecilia Bold is the one that allows me to read the longest without noticeable fatigue.
I also don't agree that the semi bold varieties are too bold. Keep in mind the screenshots use a white background, and the reader itself has a grey background. I have not tried Minion Pro Caption, so, before dismissing it, I will certainly give it a shot, but, I can't see, given how summarily it's semi-bold variety was dismissed (by me), that the Caption version will be much different.
To say that there are "alot better options than Caecilia" is clearly an opinion. One not shared by Amazon, which presumably invested a fair amount of money in their research and development, before deciding on this very font (Caecilia Bold) as their font of choice.
And, in your screen shots, yes, the semi-bold is fat and loud, but, nobody reads at the size that you posted your screen shots. Furthermore, nobody reads on a white background, which is, once again, why screenshots are deceiving. Caecilia Bold, at the size that I read (0.8em) doesn't look the least bit bold on my reader. LexiaDaMa-Bold, for example, is significantly bolder, than Caecilia-Bold.
