Which Font to use for my iPad ebook

After researching at the beginning of this project, I found out that San serif fonts are easier for children to read on a screen. It is now time for me to decide which font i will use.

I have decided to go with a type face called open dyslexic. My target audience will not yet be able to read or will be in the process of learning. They will need everything possible to help make things easier for them. I found reading the text below to be far easier than many other fonts available. My eyes stayed focused on the works and it is very clear to read each letter. For this reason i have decided to use this font for my iPad story. Even if a child is not dyslexic it will still make the whole learning to read process a lot easier for them.

"OpenDyslexic is a new open sourced font created to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. The typeface includes regular, bold, italic and bold-italic styles. It is being updated continually and improved based on input from dyslexic users. There are no restrictions on using OpenDyslexic outside of attribution.Your brain can sometimes do funny things to letters.OpenDyslexic tries to help prevent some of these things from happening. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to add a kind of "gravity" to each letter,helping to keep your brain from rotating them around in ways that can make them look like other letters.Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent flipping and swapping.OpenDyslexic also takes a different approach to italic styles. It is generally recommended that italics be avoided in reading material for dyslexia. However,instead of taking the normal approach of "slant x% for italic," OpenDyslexic's italic style has been crafted to allow for its use for emphasis while maintaining readability."
