The modified Charis SIL is actually a very nice in-between font, not too bold and not too faint, Deja vu Serif E-ink, from one of the other forum members is also very nice. I also like Malabar, Miller Text and Linux Libertine but it's kind of like with shoes: if you are on your feet all day, it's nice being able to change shoes after a few hours - but maybe that's just me.
Yeah I'm the same way. Sometimes the same font looks too bold and other times too faint. Depends on how my eyes are at the moment. Which is why I wish amazon would add a font weight on the fly adjustment liked kobo has.
