But on the Oasis, you can up the weight of fonts if you want.
Ah, very interesting, thank you. Yes, Caecilia is available on my Oasis, but I don't seem to get it to look the same, even upping the weight. I guess that it's because Oasis only offers a few steps of weight, so I can't fine-tune it to have the same weight it had by default in my old kindle (where I could not adjust the weight). Also because of the different resolution.

Thanks, anyway! I guess it's just a matter of getting used to it.
