I haven't found any Adobe fonts (including Adobe Caslon, which has a screenshot above), remotely better suited to e-reading than Caecilia. If you have any specific suggestions, let me know and I will gladly test and post screenshots. What fonts are you particular to?
And, while some might be too bold, others clearly are not. Caecilia's Bold version, for example, is not nearly too bold and is, in fact, what is in use on the Kindle. They use the Heavy version as their bold variant. In fact, in the screenshots, it looks alot "bolder" than what it looks like on the reader. I can read at VERY small sizes (I use 0.8em font size in my stylesheet), for VERY long periods of time, with no fatigue. It's the only font I've tested thus far that I can say that about.
I don't read on my ereader to look at the pretty fonts. I read on my ereader for purposes of the literature itself. If it allows me to read for long periods, I could care less what the font looks like.
