MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Summary of fonts available across Kindle devices

Hello! Decided to create a table of fonts available across various Kindle platforms (excluding the Kindle Fire) for easy reference. Pardon the crude quality of the table, but MobileRead does not have a provision for inserting a table as far as I know. Of course, e-ink Kindles allow for the addition of custom fonts, but not the others.

It can be observed that:

Amazon Ember (non-bold) is not available on iOS and Android. Only Amazon Ember Bold is available. The only other sans-serif options on these two platforms are Helvetica and Lucida, and personally I do not like either.
Helvetica Neue Light (which ought to have been added on iOS and Android) is only on the PC app.
Droid Serif is exclusive to Android.
Lucida and Georgia are not to be found on e-ink Kindles.

Please let me know if there are any corrections.
