I discovered the OpenDyslexic font on my Kobo Aura. I’ve always been a slow reader but surprisingly, that font makes my reading easier and perhaps a bit faster. I don’t have a smart phone but I’ve always wanted to be able to take my reading with me. I like my Aura so much I decided to save up and buy a Kobo Mini so I can sync my reading.

Here’s the thing: The Kobo Web site lists only 8 fonts for the mini (my Aura has 10) but I couldn’t find which ones. I hope OpenDyslexic is one of them.

I tried watching reviews on YouTube but none of them named the fonts and when they demonstrated changing the reading screen the reviewer’s hands always covered some of the font names. There are prettier fonts and finding a single font, one that none of the other eReaders has anyway, is hardly enough to rule a Mini out.

I’m writing to ask if someone who has a Mini would please tell me whether OpenDyslexic is one of the 8 fonts it comes with. And thanks for your help.
