That two tone yellow screen is not pleasing, to me. The screen looks dull. I hope to try it outside tomorrow. I don't like the looks of the Voyage screen outside.
Thank you. Charis SIL is still quite a low-res screen friendly font, with fairly heavy strokes and not too much contrast. (It's good. I wish my Sony had it).

What about Palatino? That has finer features. It is available on both Kobo and Kindle, right? Does that show the difference more clearly? Can you photograph it?
