Thanks
I got most of mine from fonts.google.com and <https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts>: the latter has no real preview mechanism but if you can figure out what the various fonts in there look like it has a lot of publication-quality OpenType and TrueType fonts -- the harder part is to find one that looks good on the low resolution of a Kindle screen ("low" by comparison with the 1200--9600 dpi of a phototypesetter), but these days a lot of modern fonts have been designed to look good on laser printers, which means around 300dpi, i.e. a Kindle screen
