Props to Amazon for the new Ember Bold face. Alas, that's the only all-text bold font on the Oasis (left). By contrast you can adjust the bold level of many fonts on the Kobo Aura H2O and other Kobo models such as the Aura One. Also, you can install your own fonts. In case you're curious, the Oasis is displaying The Making of Donald Trump, by David Cay Johnston.

Kindles finally get all-text bold. May Amazon catch up with Kobo typography in other ways!
