If I'd be using a fatter Caecillia, it may be different of course.
Even though it's thinner than Caecilia, I like Palatino. The size is too big though: on theb same size settings, I lose 4 lines of text per screen, compared to Caecilia. Baskerville is okayish (problems with c and e, for me), but it's too small. It gains 4 lines per screen compared to Caecilia. Setting Baskerville one setting bigger, or Palatino one setting smaller, makes them just a tad too big or small for me.
Caecillia is just right in weight and size; the only thing it has against it is that it is not a beautiful font. It doesn't have the grace that Palatino and Baskerville have.

NO I test the non modified font the line spacing in the same. When you make a font smaller the line spacing is suppose to increase then you have to mod the metrics to fix that but this font seems to ignore those changes.
I agree Palatino is too big or wide. It's so light on my Kindle you barely see it. Baskerville renders so badly on the Kindle but it's a very sophisticated font. I'm surprise they went with it. I tried adding weight, shrinking it but it looks wrong no matter what I try. It could be that I am use to the fonts looking a certain way so they will always look off to me.
If you want to give
Gentium a try you can PM me and I'll send it to you. It's a very nice font with old style appeal. It allows alot of words per page. All I did add a little bit of weight.
