Regarding fonts, I'm only posting open source or freeware fonts, so no Adobe fonts. Also no Amazon fonts, as I've no idea regarding their licencing model. My own taste prevailed regarding fonts that I included. Coromrant and Cardo are both Garamond inspired fonts. EB Garamond is one of the first open source Garamond fonts. Charis and it's derivative Chareink appear to be popular here. I included both. Questrial is Futura like open source font, while Inter is a popular sans serif font. I'm also a longtime FC Internazionale fan, so that's an extra reason for including it.

Samples are all taken with 'Bold' setting in the reader set to lowest possible. 'Spacing' setting is in every case set to the smallest possible.
If you have a jailbroken Kindle, how do you reduce the line height and the L/R margins for KF8 & KFX?
