Have had a look on the screenshots. Most of them look very readable in the first glance. I would have to use them for several days to decide between go or no go on my reader.

Baskerville:
Tried it and decided not to use it. Cannot explain why.

Cantoria:
Looks too less "serif" to me. More like a sans serif font. Thus not on my list.

Droid:
Tried it and decided not to use it. Looks too thin cheerful and on my PRS350.

Caecilia (Caecilia_LT_65_Medium; Kindle version):
Still my favorite. Reason: it's simple very readable even under bad light.

NimbusMod:
Very readable. This font is on a test run since a view days on my reader.

Lots of fonts look very reasonable on the paper. But rendering on a screen with square pixels is another thing. Stright and not too thin lines could be displayed with lesser compromises (for example clear type). Caecilia renderes with very little compromises.
