"Too skinny" and "too light" are gateway font descriptions. Before you know it, people are into the heavy font stuff like: ascenders, descenders, ligatures and kerning--oh, my! At that point all I hear is that Peanuts adult trombone voice and my eyes glaze over.
Like I said: I had no idea there was anything different about the fonts in this book until this thread. What can I say? I don't know my serif (visually) from a hole in the ground. I just don't notice those subtle things. No eyestrain. No distraction. I read commercial books I buy with the fonts that appear (I rarely know if the fonts are from the book or the reader/app). Same speed, same way, same obliviousness. All fonts all books. I actually consider myself quite lucky that way. One less thing to stress over.
