Amazon claims that in tests it is some certain minuscule percentage more comfortable for people to read (I have no idea how you objectively test something like this) but I agree that it does look a bit lighter and thinner... which I would think would be the opposite of what you would want for reducing eye-strain.

However, I do like the Bookerly font. It looks amazing on high resolution LCD screens even though it just looks OK on even the new Voyage and Paperwhite 300ppi screens, IMO. Shrug. These are the games we play, I suppose.
