So I figure I will have more variety if I choose something different for books where I set the font myself (and leave Charis for the library books). I'm just getting tired of seeing the same look all the time.

I know some people would rather see the same font all the time, so they focus on the words and don't notice the font anymore. But I do sometimes miss printed books where a trained designer carefully chose the font, the line height, the margins, etc., for that particular book. Oh well, when that happens I read a printed book. A nicely formatted one!
