Hi all,

I'm creating a document in InDesign specifically for ePub conversion (destination Barnes&Noble). Because eBook devices offer their own font selection and the reader can resize the font, I was wondering if there is a preferred font and font size to use when creating a file for ePub conversion. Are there some fonts that work better than others? What is considered a good point size for body copy?

BTW, I do not plan on embedding fonts, but would like to use a font that is as glitch-free as possible.

Should the destination device (in this case, the nook) have any bearing on font selection?
