    Atkinson hyperledgable. Made by the RNIB.

    I’m visually impaired and it really helps.

    It is also a good font in general for easy reading.

    There is also a next version. Little more modern looking and a mono version.

    Usually whatever the default serif typeface is. What I care more about is flush left (“ragged right”) alignment, ideally with automatic hyphenation. I find justified alignment very distracting.

    Yes.

    TL;DR: I don’t actually know, that’s how much I care.

    Any serif font is fine by me. I’ve been going with whatever Zathura’s default epub font is.

    During last year, I have been using Liberation Serif on my Kobo Clara Reader.

    The specific font isn’t as important for me. Mostly I’ll use whatever sans serif option is available in the reader, since I generally despise serifs. Very occasionally I’ll go for a serif font on a fantasy book for “atmosphere”, though.

    I use DejaVu on my phone. Maybe computer, too. I can’t check right now; it’s out of commission.

    Comic sans.

    Just kidding. I use the dyslexia font. It does what it says on the tin.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
