This. I had the same issues as Apache's wife. This is why when reading it's good to try many different fonts. For me Slab Serif has been most comfortable to read with. I use Amasis with alot of weight added. I have also found reading along to an audiobook is training my brain to see more words correctly. I'm reading faster with less error since I have started this even without an audiobook.

However the right or left thing I've yet to discover a way to not lose direction.

When I started reading in 2009 it was a struggle and I was slow. I had to run every eBook through Calibre. Every paragraph had to have a space after it and be indented. Now I can read without either and my old books I formatted this way now annoy me. It took years though to train my brain but for me was well worth it.
