For me, Trebuchet goes straight to my brain. There are plenty of fonts that look nicer to me, but that's the one that I settled on after trying out dozens. I read it faster, I don't lose my place, it works equally well for me at several font sizes and on both traditional ebook readers and tablet screens.

Made it myself.
Works for my dyslexia, and efficient for vertical space.
It divides opinion, some very enthusiastic, some hate it.
Faustina, it's the FOSS alternative to the Kindle's default font.
OpenDyslexic. I used to hate reading. Read one and a half books this year. Also 3 novella's. For fun! I never read for fun. Usually just programming books to get my feet wet before jumping into documentation. Never an entire book cover to cover unless Im obsessed enough.
I was sceptical but it really does help.
I've never found different fonts to help my dyslexia much, but I find the contrast between the font and the background effects it quite a lot
What I came to suggest. This font is amazing.
but it really does help
depends on the person and symptoms. I was the opposite of sceptical, but when I tried it, I was super disappointed, because reading suddenly became MUCH more difficult.
The non-open dyslexiefont is what helped me. Even though the differences seem minor.
Yeah this font made me dyslexic
I also sometimes does TTS while reading along, but most of the time I'm doing it it just means I should get some rest instead of forcing more focus (AuDHD).

Is there any science in this? I believe this might just be a preference. :D
As i understand it we dyslexic people read more in blocks of words among other issues with order of letters and or sounds. Easily two words can become confused with each other if the look enough alike. Take defiantly and definitely, two words I often mistake for one another and often have trouble spelling individually. The dyslexic font has more spacing between letters which helps a ton.

Atkinson Hyperlegible Next from the Braille Institute
Thanks. Had never heard of this one.
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.
Lexend Deca from https://www.lexend.com/ because it's the only font I could find which was studied during it's creation for being more readable for many people.
Noto Serif
you can change fonts on ebooks?
The whole point of ebooks is that the reader decides the look, vs. PDF.
You can always change the font on your ebook reader. I know Calibre has the option.
Gentium Book, Alegreya, or Labrada. Humanist serif fonts for reading Fantasy and SciFi. Absolutely love them, can't recommend these enough.

Shantell Sans
Roboto, Droid, Dejavu, Liberation. Only Sans Serif.
Antykwa Torunski.
Since the first time of seeing it on a Mac (Plus, probably), I've been in love with Palatino. It just seems to flow so nicely, and the italic is gorgeous.
I missed it for many years until I found TeX Gyre Pagella.
Literata and Bitter Pro are the ones I switch between on my kobo.
Libertinus Serif is my current favorite. I generally like most garamond-likes for most books, but will dabble in a sans if the book is suitably scifi. Older favorites of mine are Adobe Caslon Pro and Adobe Devanagari. Baumschrift is a fantastic clean sans font but honestly it shines best on larger sizes for headers rather than prose. If we are doing monospace I love IBM Plex Mono in the light variety.
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.
Copperplate Gothic.
Just kidding, I don't have one but would love some suggestions.
Georgia
Baskerville, or Jokerman if I fancy an aneurism.
Currently using Noto Sans in koreader
I just tried a few fonts on my old Kobo, as I've done a few times here and there, and I always end up back with a serif font. I'm not sure why, but I have suspicion that reading paperbacks and newspapers before ereaders existed has trained me to read faster with serif fonts.
i experimented with a test that boldened only the first half of the word or something similar, years ago. i'm dying to find something that an read ebooks like this, i can read twice as fast with it.
Vollkorn. The best I could find.
Yes.
TL;DR: I don't actually know, that's how much I care.
Comic sans.
Just kidding. I use the dyslexia font. It does what it says on the tin.
I prefer a helv variant usually, but now that it's under fire I'm trying out colibri.
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.

Linux
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.
