I assume Amazon's is only available through their service, meaning you can't make it available in a DRM free ePub (you as the author/publisher don't actually get to license it)
Again, as I said in my post, Open Dyslexic font--the one that Amazon uses--is 100% free. Dyslexie (not the font that Amazon uses; another so-called Dyslexic-friendly font) is, I believe, $90/user, but that's to use the font on your own computer, etc.

I don't know of others--but Amazon's font is free and you can download it and use it yourself, on websites, etc. It's not created BY Amazon, it was created by someone else and you can have it for the asking: https://opendyslexic.org/

Read Regular is also free. I'm not 100% sure about Sylexiad, but it seems to be freely downloadable, too.

So, other than the Dyslexie font, it seems that they are all quite free.
