I use it exclusively now, for everything I read. It occupies the perfect middle ground between traditional proportional fonts like Time New Roman and Georgia and almost-monospace fonts like Caecilia and Kobo Nickel.

I can't read with regular proportional fonts anymore - my eye simply gets too distracted by the busyness of a stroke that constantly changes its width that much. For a while I read exclusively with the almost-monospace fonts on my Kobo: Caecilia, Kobo Nickel and Amasis. But now that my eye has gotten used to Bookerly, they also distract my eye too much, this time by being too heavy, too stodgy. Bookerly is to my eye the perfect happy medium.

Why not Literata? It is almost as good, but with its overdone embellishments at the end of letters like "r" or "f" it too distracts my eye a bit more than Bookerly. Also, Literata's italics are too weird and overdone. Bookerly is almost like a perfect cipher for my eyes: it imparts nothing of its own, just the meaning of what is written.

Well. I realize most people don't care about fonts; only the meaning of what is written. But I for one welcome my new font overlord.
