I absolutely hate Amazon Ember.

I don't get how anyone would like reading with Futura. Same for Helvetica!

I like Baskerville on the computer, but I find it hard on the eyes on the e-reader.

Gentium Book is not a bad font per se, but I find it boring and a turn-off for reading on the e-reader.

I like some parts of Caecilia, but the spacing bugs me too much and I don't like reading with it. Caecilia condensed doesn't help that because then the font is awkwardly tall.
See, sans fonts are much easier for me to read, and my favorite is Amazon Ember.

Isn't it wonderful how different we all are, and how easy it is to find fonts that work for us?
