There's also DejaVu Serif E-Ink. That's a nice, dark font, but I can't remember where I got it from and I didn't see it in the summary of modified fonts thread.

Ditto this.

I grabbed it from a post in the Amazon Kindle forum a while back. It's attached to Fat fonts for Kindle KPW2 #1.

Jackie_w has it right. I replied to @ZodWallop's message, flipped to the next page and, durn, @Sirtel had posted the same answer. To quote Homer Simpson, D'oh!

Your bad habit is my standard operating procedure.

More than once I hit 'reply' to a post on the first page of what turns out to be a five page thread. What am I supposed to be? Some kind of reader or something?

I bought a Kobo Libre H2O last week and returned it a few days later. I was unable to cope with the uneven colour and brightness. Brighter and yellower on the left side of the display, cooler and darker on the right. I've done a lot of researching online and it seems to be an issue but many are not concerned about it. I'm the sort of person who just can't unsee a problem like this. I ordered a Kobo Clara HD and this is so much better. The frontlight is very even, specially when you mix the two colours. I'm now happy

That's too bad, I hope they haven't sacrificed the quality of the lighting?

I got my Kobo Libra H20 a few days ago and I'm happy that my lighting is pretty even. There is a slight shadow on the button side that is noticeable when it's dark but it's extremely minor and very similar to my Kobo Aura One edges for for me personally not a problem at all. Just thought I'd add this as I know some people have been having bad experiences with screens lately. So far I love it! I was worried about moving from the larger KAO but it seems to be good so far and I'm enjoying having buttons.

I haven't used a Forma, Libra or Oasis. But I'm assuming the lighting issues come from the new form factor.

Do Oases have trouble of inconsistent lighting? If not, could it stem from glass screens rather than plastic ones? (No, I'm not talking about the substrate.)

Glad you like your Clara. I got a perfect one too (or I'm not sensitive enough to notice flaws, at any rate).

Claras did have lighting issues of their own out of the gate, though those came from shoddy manufacturing and were easy enough to fix.
