Which font do I use?

To those who are interested, I personally use the Bookerly font on my Paperwhite. I admit I haven’t really experimented with any of the other fonts. What I discovered while writing this article was that I like the bolder font types such as Hevetica and Amazon Ember Bold. However, I don’t think I am going to switch from Bookerly, which I have grown rather used to.
