If your talking about the Bookerly fonts that have been floating around the web since it was released on the fire... I extracted the text strings from that file, (curiosity, and all that.),... there's a comment that the font is explicitly the "LCD" Variant. I'm hoping that means that the E-ink version will be darkened a little. I think Bookerly looks ok on the Kobo Glo HD if I increase the weight by .2. That's also the same weight I set Georgia at, and I can't decide which font I prefer, so I guess either would be a good default choice. It's still much thinner than the Caecilia on the PW2, but perfectly readable and looks very fine. (Trying to read on the PW2 again for a day, I really notice the poor resolution now compared to recent Kobo devices. I'll probably cave and buy a PW3 soon just so I can complete my set.)

Fun exercise: compare Bookerly to "Cordale" font.
