I acquired mine a long time ago by extracting them myself from a Kindle firmware download. All the info I have is based on observations from that time.

I haven't tested those from this Amazon link. Great if they now work without any effort and they're from an official source. I'd never recommend anyone to use FontForge for problem solving unless they had no other choice. It's a bit flaky on Windows.

BTW, the original Bookerly fonts were never corrupt, they just had some internal metrics that the Kobo didn't seem to like at that time.
