I’m trying out both the Linus Libertine and the Andikaink, and my first impression of both is very positive. I am rather fond of the Linux Libertine font it might actually displace Bookerly as my preferred font. The latter two had been customized to look better on E-ink screens. I just tried this, and successfully installed Roboto, AndikaInk, and Liux Libertine fonts. The Kindle should automatically detect all compatible fonts and display them for you to choose from. If everything went the way it should you will find a new custom option setting in the Kindle’s font selection screen. Pick up your Kindle, open an ebook, and select the “Font & Page Settings” menu. Once you have copied the files to your Kindle’s font folder, unplug your Kindle from the USB cable.

(I took care of this detail when I assembled the bundle, don’t worry.) A font family usually comes in sets of four, and they all have to have similar names otherwise they won’t all be found by the device.

Copy all the font files from your chosen folder to the fonts folder on your Kindle.

Select one of the folders in the bundle folder, and open it.

Simply plug your Kindle device into your computer over USB, and then use your computer to navigate to and open the folder labeled fonts in the root folder of the device.

I assembled that collection so that it would be easier to find and install fonts on the Kobo ereader, and now it can serve double duty by saving Kindle owners the hassle of finding the fonts on their own.ĭownload the ZIP file, unzip it, and you are halfway to installing the fonts on your Kindle. You can download them as a ZIP file from the link below. There are many sites where you can download them, but luckily for you back in 2016 I collected a bundle of fonts that had been developed for E-ink screens. The first thing you need is one or more fonts to install. Note: This is for the E-ink Kindles, not the Kindles running Android. If you have one of those Kindles, here’s how you can install fonts.

This feature is available on all current Kindles from the second Kindle Paperwhite (2014) to the new Oasis (2017) and fourth-gen Paperwhite (2018) that are running firmware version 5.9.6 or later. In June 2018 Amazon released an update for the Kindle ereaders that gave users the option of installing their own fonts.
