And yet I prefer reading with a serif font. The problem is that font choice is a very personal item. I may love a font and read with it for hours while another person may look at it and go "Yuck!". You may want to read with a sans serif font and that's your choice.
My personal feeling is that at small font sizes (i.e., the body font in an ebook), serif fonts are easier to read. Headers and other bits of text using a larger font size often look better in a sans-serif font.
As for the opinion at lexend.com, are you sure you want to quote someone who feels that italic and/or bold are not needed? Though I would love to see a proper definition of cognitive noise other than saying it's a buzzword (buzz phrase?).
