That's not the topic here--the testing, or lack thereof, of eInk, no-weight-added fonts.
And some 8,000 eBooks into this, let me just say, you can put notes,
billet-doux, forget-me-nots, etc. in there from now until hell freezes over and 99% of the readers who buy them will a)
never see the note and b) never read it. Anything in front-matter is almost ubiquitously ignored and never seen. That's just what has happened in a day and age when eBooks "typically" open to a given location.
People are, apparently,
blithely disinterested in front matter.
Any concerns someone has about font weights, etc.--they can just test it themselves. That's their job as the publisher, any-damned-way.
