Goofy looking OpenDyslexic font vastly improves reading
Personal experience. Last year I switched my Kindle font to 'OpenDyslexic' and after a day or two reading became overall more enjoyable. Less eye strain. Longer reading sessions. I've doubled the amount of books I'd normally read in a year.
I was never diagnosed as dyslexic and have always enjoyed reading. It's one of the best life hacks I've found.
Has anyone else experienced this?

It's Interesting. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/opendyslexic-for-ch... How do you feel about Atkinson Hyperlegible? I like it, might give it a try. Got near perfect vision but still find myself misreading things, when the text is super small That one feels worse to me. OP is soothing. As someone who has never been diagnosed with dyslexia, the deliberate asymmetry of the font stroke width is rough on my eyes. Unrelated but the ability to load custom fonts on my Kindle is one of the nicest advantages of using an e-Reader over traditional paper format. I do kind of wish that kindle would remember your preferred font settings at a per book level though.
