We don't shy away from highlighting the deficiencies of the kobo, like inferior highlighting or inferior store ecosystem, so why should kindles be spared the shame of highlighting their inferior font selection system?

I'm not sure if this is directed at me, but the only image where I used the same typeface on both is the one where I'm illustrating how much more text is displayed on the Kobo Aura One—a point very much in its favour. And the typeface used in that example is Bookerly, not Caecilia.
The image with a close-up of the A1's text rendering is set in Meta Serif, for the record.
