this thread?

Version 1 - ChareInk-NoHinting.zip (687 views)
Version 1 - ChareInk-NoWeight-NoHinting.zip (469 views)

The ChareInk-NoHinting.zip (with weight) is better for eink devices like kindle paperwhite?

Also, Charis SIL font seems to be available on some websites as well. for example:
https://software.sil.org/charis/

Is this where mobileread's modified version originated from? Which version is everyone using?
Various versions. Jon generated several variants over the years. It is one of my favourites with the added weight. And yes, Jon modified it from the Charis SIL releases.
