About 30 on the devices, around 20,000 on hard drive on pc.

Very interesting! Thanks, everyone for contributing!

I just loaded a bunch of the recommended fonts from the other thread that I mentioned, but have not yet had a chance to test them out to see which I prefer.

I’m sure that I’ll be like the majority have said, and narrow it down to one or two preferred fonts and then ignore the rest and eventually remove them from my Kindles.

I also have a couple of Boox devices, but haven’t added or tried to play around with fonts on them as of yet. Maybe someday I’ll get to them.

I can't say that I like the way that the Boox v.3 engine handles user-loaded fonts.

I bought a Go 7 last week, and immediately loaded my favoured font onto it. I then spent far too long going round in circles trying to use it. It turned out that it didn't add my font to the main list (as other devices, including the v.2 Boox engine, do). Instead, you have to select a separate Import tab. That holds user-loaded fonts, and only those fonts, in their own list. Still, I got there in the end.
