I agree that Gentium SIL is nothing special. Bookerly is OK at best. Do not use the version in the Kindle 5.12.3 firmware as it doesn't align properly at smaller sizes. Plus, you might need to edit the metadata as it's off and can cause a problem.
I don't like reading with sans-serif fonts (for a book). They just are harder to read the. A good serif such as ChareInk. Another thing I dislike is a font with extra long defenders.

Don't get me wrong, I like Baskerville in general, but not for extended reading. I have been using the updated Bookerly since I try to keep my Kindle up to date but haven't really noticed issues - I've seen this commented on with the forum, though, so it could just be something that's slipped under my radar.
