Just finished testing 11 different fonts on my PRS-650 to find the one that works well with my eyes. The fonts in question are Charis SIL, Droid, Fontin (OpenType), Fontin (TrueType), Gentium Basic, Gentium Book Basic, Gentium Plus, Liberation, Libertine (OpenType), Libertine (TrueType) and NimbusMod (by delphin). The first image is of the default font and all of the screenshots were taken with the brightness and contrast set to -60 and 60 respectively.

Better yet, just check out the album here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/album.php?albumid=675

I found that Droid, Gentium Plus, Lexia DaMa and NimbusMod worked very well for me when compared to the default font.

Edit: And I just failed at posting pictures from my album.
