For this article, I\u2019m going to add <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/specimen\/Libre+Baskerville?query=bas\">Libre Baskerville<\/a> to my Kindle.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of quick notes before we dive in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some fonts are designed to look good on a screen, while others are designed for print. Bookerville and Ember, for example, were designed by Amazon to take full advantage of the Kindle\u2019s E-ink screen. This means that some fonts you can install might look a little weird.<\/li>\n<li>You should install the full font family, including any bold or italic variations, where possible. This might mean installing multiple TTF files. To fully add Libre Baskerville to my Kindle, I had to add LibreBaskerville-Bold.ttf, LibreBaskerville-Italic.ttf, and LibreBaskerville-Regular.ttf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Install_a_Custom_Font_on_Your_Kindle\"><\/span>How to Install a Custom Font on Your Kindle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Installing fonts on a Kindle involves nothing but adding them to a specific folder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-734649 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2added.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"font files in the Kindle fonts folder\" width=\"650\" height=\"463\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Connect your Kindle to your computer and open it in File Explorer or Finder.
