The reality is dyslexia is very complex and what works well for one does not work as well for another, so someone with dyslexia needs the ability to change the fonts specified. Thus DRM that prevents altering the CSS is bad because some people need to be allowed to do just that in order to benefit from what they paid for.

Given what Amazon put into the creation of the first font--Caecilia--which was really ridiculous--I
suspect that they put just as much effort into the font for Dyslexia. Either creating it, or licensing it, or research, or what-have-you.
Sure--maybe it doesn't work. But are you saying it
never works? It doesn't suit
anyone with dyslexia?
