A quick note about the font Gentium.

I checked the font homepage yesterday, and I noticed an update that might interest some people here: there is a new version of Gentium Plus Mali (24 jun 2018).

Gentium Plus Mali is a variant of Gentium Plus with a tighter linespacing. It has many many characters but no bold (note that your Kindle is able to emulate a form of boldness even if the font has no bold variant).

Gentium Plus Mali is available here:

If you prefer a native bold and bold-italic variant, you need Gentium Basic 1.102 (10 Dec 2013) available here:
https://software.sil.org/gentium/download/

This set has less characters than Gentium Plus Mali, but enough for english readers.
