No worries....
I started with Gill Sans, once I'd found it on my Mac. Now, my 'normal' Word template uses Gill Sans - it's a curiously attractive font... especially so for a sans serif one.
Thanks to Gill Sans I'm now a bit obsessive about how the 'g' looks in a font - you'll notice Gill Sans has a bottom loop like most Serif fonts, whereas Arial, Helvetica are just a bit plain.
Gill Sans also manages to look good on all 3 main mediums - LCD (laptop) screens, eink and also printed out on paper. Only drawback is it's not a standard installed font on windows machines, so your docs will get reformatted when viewed on them - sadly.
It does seem like the line thickness is particularly important for eink - many otherwise attractive Serif fonts (Bembo?) you come across in paperbacks etc just don't work well at all on an eink screen.
The Charis SIL is quite effective too...
