I have a related habit - when I start a new book on an e-reader, I mess around with the font settings until I get the right feel for that book. Sometimes it's just a basic match: a 19th-century novel will need a heavier serif, while recent sci-fi will have a modern non-serif. But you can mess with the weight, spacing, margins, add new fonts for variety, all sorts of things. It helps each book feel more like a book instead of just a long text document.
- copperx 5y agoOne cool thing about the new Kindle (at least the Paperwhite that I have) is that you can load your own fonts. The fonts only work with KFX books, though. But that's a Calibre conversion away.
- devindotcom 5y agoNice, I've been adding fonts to Kobo and Boox devices for quite a while and crowing about it, glad it's happening on Kindle too now.

- copperx 5y agoI love Bembo or Sabon. However, the built-in typefaces are something easier to read.
