The original Atkinson Hyperlegible (without Next) is available by default on some Kobo e-readers. I use it for a few months now and I find that indeed it helps reading at night (or without my glasses because it's nice to remove them from time to time).

You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.

Same in Belgium, no scale involved, just a handled scanner you bring in the shop. At checkout you give (or put back depending on the supermarket) the scanner, then an algorithm tell you if you're elected to a partial control (in which case a cashier scan some of the articles, again there are some rules depending on the brand of supermarket - some ask rescan 5 random products, some 10, some explicitly list most valuable items, some require the cashier to count items,...). I say an algorithm because experience show it's not just random (for example in the supermarket brand I most often go, if you cancel an item on the scanner, you're 100% sure to have a control).
Finished Too Late, by Colleen Hoover. Well I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it's a good page turner with some suspens and so on. But I was a bit uneasy about the over occurrence of sexual relations described with a too high level of detail. At times, I wondered if I was reading a psychological triller or the scenario of a porn movie... I think this was done in order to describe the horror of the main bad character but it was just too much and unnecessary in my opinion.
Well I don't know yet what to read next, I'll look up maybe here if something please me.
Edit: I think I'll go for The Antidote, by Karen Russell. Seems to have some good reviews.
Ok done a bit the reverse as many here: came from Heliboard and tested out FUTO (thanks to this post and some others telling it was great). And indeed, it works pretty well, better than Heliboard, especially in English (~40% of my use on Android - I'm French native speaker so most messaging is in French and I use English for some search, lemmy,...). So that's say in French, futo is not as good as in English (suggestions are often less accurate than in English) but it's still better than Heliboard. The swipe works better too (and doesn't require an external (proprietary) library). The only drawbacks I see until now is the limitation to 3 suggestions in the suggestions bar, with Heliboard there was a 3 dot menu giving more suggestions and the lack of spellchecker.

So, legacy one (without next) is already available on a lot of kobo e-reader. But you should be able to install any TTF font on kobo: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/13009477876631-Load-fonts-onto-your-Kobo-eReader
