The Font Freedom patch is needed to be able to set font thickness; most fonts at their defaults are not heavy enough for e-ink.

The full screen bugs seem to be fixed by CSS, so I'll leave that as is.
I've tried Bookerly, wasn't very impressed. It's a pretty font, but I found the distinctiveness of italics in Literata to be preferable. I may give Bookerly another shot on the KA1.

I know you're adverse to patching, but you may want to look at the margin patches. They run independent of the full screen tweak. I'm not sure if Geoff or one of the others mentioned them to you. Though I suspect you could add more to the CSS to get the result.
