Can you suggest me some good fonts? I know that there is some fonts, like the Kindle one, made just for ebook readers.
Try also Roboto Serif from Google Fonts. You could also like Roboto (a sans serif font, the first font produced by Google of the Roboto series) and Robot Slab.

I also tried many fonts and my favourite was clearly Literata Book (based on Literata v3.002 with Litera Book parameters). I gave Roboto Serif a chance and it is a very nice and pleasant font. Thanks !

Sans-serif fonts are not as good to read with as a serif font.

As far as I know, Literata Book and Roboto Serif are both serif fonts.

I prefer serif, but it's not simple. It's affected by medium / print quality, size, type of content and size. There are also a lot of poor sans where I and l or 0 and O are ambiguous. There are plenty of unsuitable serif fonts for lower resolution or smaller size body text.

Roboto Serif looks nice. I can't make sense of what's available to download here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto+Serif
Which one(s) should I get in order to have the 4 ttf files for regular, italics, bold and bold-italics?

I have seen fonts where I, l, and 1 went beyond ambiguous to bit for bit identical.

I used the Medium Regular and Italic and the ExtraBold Bold and BoldItalic since, for me, I prefer heavier fonts on an eInk screen. A bit of diddling with FontForge to change the font internal names and looks good to me.

You have to download the font family and then extract and put RobotoSerif Regular, RobotoSerif Bold, RobotoSerif BoldItalic, RobotoSerif Italic ttf files (\static\RobotoSerif) into your Kobo fonts folder

Some of my favorites are: Bitter Pro, Roboto Slab, Literata Book, and Charis6Eink - a modified version of Charis SIL (from DNSB, I believe).

sigh, so stupid. I saw the file names are Condensed, Expanded, ExtraCondensed, ExtraExpanded, SemiCondensed, SemiExpanded, UltraCondensed, but those are folders, not file names.
Sorry for wasting your time.
