Hi - below is a screenshot with AdobeGaramondPro (I think this font comes with the Adobe Creative Suite 5) I'm very happy with it. Font size set to M. PS Just added a shot of Palatino (in different light conditions + slightly different proximity to camera...) I definitely prefer the Garamond on the Reader.

No need to reflash. All you have to do is:
1/ Attach the Reader to your computer with the USB cable - wait until it becames available as a device on your computer (I'm working with a Windows 7 64 bit PC)
2/ Rename the current userStyle.css to something that makes sense (as below)
3/ Edit the userStyle.css file with the new font names as per the instructions above and save as userStyle.css (I use NotePad for this)
When you disconnect the Reader from the computer, the reader re-starts and imposes the new font on all books you open. Once you've got the syntax of the .css file right it seems to be very straightforward.
As I'm learning which font works best for me I'm saving each new version of the userStyle.css with a new name. I currently have the following list of possible fonts:
userStyle.css (the version currently in use)
userStyle.css.orig (the original .css file from the Russification flash
Alternative userStyle files.
userStyle.css.droid
userStyle.css.calibri
userStyle.css.adobegaramondpro
userStyle.css.palatino
Hope this helps.
