Actually, on the Cybook you do not get rivers at least since the justification will fail sometimes and the line spacing is large enough that you do not see holes so often.

i think the research is nog conclusive on the question if serif or san-serif is more readable. 160dpi is so low that you have to choose a suitable font (300dpi is also low).
