I used the old Bookerly v1.020, the version before Amazon ruined it. And I renamed it to DaltonMaag, the typographer.

One item with these fonts. The Regular and Italic variants show the Panose font weight as Medium which I changed to Book while the BoldItalic variant shows the Panose weight as Demi which I changed to Bold. The Bold variant was already set to a Panose weight of Bold. I don't think it makes any difference on a Kindle but on a Kobo ereader, it helps with kepubs showing the correct font variant.
