New Screenshots posted 6/27.
FedraSerifA is probably a bit better suited to e-reading than FedraSerifB, as it has slightly less contrast (between thin strokes and dark strokes), with larger x height and smaller ascenders/descenders. It's a similar slab serif font to Caecilia. The medium is a bit bolder.
Rockwell is another font very similar to Caecilia.
I think people get caught up in how "pretty" a font, when, in reality, much more important (unless you are printing high resolution images), is how readable, and how much/little the font contributes to screen fatigue.
I believe that Caecilia, FedraSerifA and Rockwell are the best options right now, for e-reading. I like LexiaDaMa as well but there is no medium font weight and the regular weight is a bit less bold that I like.
Fontin is a nice font, but, again, for purposes of ereading it is too high in contrast (not a good thing...counter-intuitive...as from what little I understand, the contrast, as it pertains to fonts, is the difference in thickness between the thicker and thinner strokes on a letter...look at a lower case "r" for example), and isn't quite thick/bold/chunky enough to make it easy to read without fatigue, for long periods, especially at smaller sizes.
