Bookerly is a good font because when I read with it my eyes are happy. That's all.

I tried several fonts but I always return to Bookerly.
Good? Slab serifs are never good.

Perhaps you should consider that fonts seem to be a very personal choice? One friend of mine likes reading with sans-serif fonts for which I consider him a typographical barbarian. This does not stop me from believing that it's his choice and if he is happy with it, no skin off my nose.

Hear, hear!

FWIW, I favour Georgia, and have done for many years. I find that it allows me to ignore the appearance, and enjoy the substance. YMMV, of course.

How about that, the old adage "you learn something new everyday" appears to be true. I didn't know that I was a typographical barbarian.

I like sans serif fonts. I'm currently using Gil Sans.

In my eyes, yes. With that opinion and a loonie, you can get a small McCafe coffee.

If you have dyslexia, a sans-serif font is the best to read wit as long as the characters are not too close together.
