Who reads ebooks on Windows? Almost nobody.

We don't agree on solutions*, but we do agree simply adding a font to a Kindle won't work.

[* I do agree that your idea is a plausible solution, though I'm sceptical]

So for practical purposes simply adding a so called Bionic font is unlikely to work on iOS, Android and any eink reader. It is possible to have "bionic reading" on a Kindle, Kobo or app with specially crafted source text. If a text has no DRM a conversion tool could do it.


But it's pointless anyway.
