TNR is a condensed font by all standards except its own. It was designed to fit the most characters on a printed page at a given size as possible.
The current Sony Reader practice of making oblique fonts on the fly (along with bold and bold-oblique) is a trade-off between processor power, storage requirements (for the extra fonts), and the IO requirements of the hardware system design. I have made several books in BookDesigner (for my use alone) implementing full font families and the results (while a bit slower on page turns and bit larger in size) are very rewarding.

New Century Schoolbook has always been my favorite font. I always try and use it when I work in Framemaker.
