Thanks to the kind folks posting where to get some fonts I was able to try it out on my Oasis2. I tried 4 different ones. Georgia, chareink, constantia and libertine. I used the weighted chareink first and it was too bold for my taste. I couldn't add the other chareink to it, I had to delete that one first for some reason. It would not show up until I did that.
They all look pretty nice as far as fonts go, but I ended up going back to bookerly. Bookerly has bigger letters. Not sure how to put that. They are taller at the same size. Again, not sure if I am explaining this well. But the words pop more. I read on #4 with it on the Oasis and the other fonts #4 didn't seem large enough, because of the fonts not being as tall, or whatever the term is. Maybe bookerly is more rounded? No, still not the right term. The other fonts don't work on 4 and 5 is too large and they still are "shorter".
I haven't tried them on the smaller Oasis or my Voyage yet as I haven't updated those. I think those fonts might work on there as on those devices 4 is a bit larger than the bigger Oasis. So I could get away with a more "shorter" font.
But again, overall they all look fine and it works well switching. Just like any other font.
I am just more happy with bookerly and its much more readable for me on the size I need. At least on the big Oasis. I'll test the other kindles this weekend.
