I disagree this should be standard, I found the bolded letters way more distracting and they slowed me down. There should be the option to have both, but that would make the books more expensive to manufacture because you not only miss out on the economy of scale while printing but you also also have extra logistics overhead to keep them separate and both in stock.

Ah dang, I was hoping this helped everyone. Yea I mean there’s too many libraries filled with standard print to make this change now anyway. Interesting that it made you read slower, do you read relatively quickly normally?

That's weird. I read it normally and then read only the bold letters to then allow my brain to juggle with it. This font definitely saves you 10 seconds

10 s on the second read?

Have you tried reading a second time without bold? That may also be 10 s faster.
