I haven't decided which I like best between the base version and the SLSF version but they're both excellent.

I'm glad you like CharisSIl. Someone requested a smaller line height and a smaller font size for use with a Kindle. So I create these new versions.

I tested the SLSF version on my PW3 and I rather like it.

Add me to the list of satisfied customers. I'm using the SPSL font in koreader on my PW1 and PW4.

I'm using the one you said you liked in a previous message. I think thats the one you are talking about which I thought was "SPSL"?

I honestly have not tried the other version yet. I just recently jailbroke my two kindle's due to amazon dropping support for my PW1 and then I liked koreader so much I had to do the PW4 yesterday.

So far I've seen the default noto sans and yours. I've debated installing bookery or whatever the name is. What font are you using for the koreader menu's?

When I id use KOReader, I used the default UI font. Then I used ChareInk6SP for reading. As for Bookerly, it's a slab serif and very ugly. Slab serifs are not good fonts for your main reading font.

On KOReader where I can modify the line of height what’s the advantage this SP version over the original Charis v7?

You get a smaller space for more text on screen.

You can also try the version with the smaller font size to see how you get on with that with KOReader.

Hi - I wanted to say thanks for maintaining this - I used to use Charis SIL back in the day on Kindle Keyboard

I'm curious whether you still edit your font-size down to 93% with Calibre, as an early post states that you did back in 2012! Or maybe KOReader gives all that functionality - my (my Scribe Colorsoft currently can't be jailbroken yet so I use 'edit book' with

html {
margin-left: -28px;
margin-right: -28px;
}

to bring the margins closer to the edge than stock Kindles allow. I will try the 93% font size to see if I like it!

I used 93% as the font size back when the Reader I was using didn't allow enough font size control. I stopped doing that a long time ago. I use a Kobo and it has good font control.

For negative margins on a Kindle, I'm using (I think) -60px.

Have you tried the other two alternate versions? One has a smaller line height for Kindle and the other has the smaller line height and smaller letters.
