Here is Berin Loritsch’s answer from the dictionary definitions.

Readability - Typography . the property of type that affects the ease with which printed matter can be read for a sustained period.

Snlchina gave a more clearly definition about these two words.
Readability is most often and more properly used to describe the ease with which written language is read and understood—it concerns the difficulty of the language itself, not its appearance. Factors that affect readability include sentence and word length, and the frequency of uncommon words.
In contrast, legibility describes how easily or comforably a typeset text can be read. It is not connected with contentor language, but rather with the size and appearance of the printed or displayed text.
Wikipedia gives “Readability” a widely definition.
Readability in English has different meanings. One relates to the ease of reading and understanding a text. Another meaning relates to the ease of visually recognizing letters, numbers, or other symbols on a page, sign, or electronic device. In English, this second meaning is generally referred to as legibility to which another article is dedicated. There is a third meaning related to the sufficiency of embedded documentation in computer-program code, described in the section below, "Readability in computer programming."
Now Im thinking about what do these contribute to my lecture topic? O.o
