If you don't mind spending money (or asking for the free educational version), you could take a look at Underware's Dolly. I've bought it some months ago and use it on my Cybook – of course I didn't buy it just to use it with my Cybook, but mainly for printing purposes.
Take a look at the PDF sample formatted for a 6" screen I've attached which uses Dolly.

Then again, if you don't mind spending some money you could buy Caecilia as well, since you already seem to like it ...

Have you tried Vista's Constantia? It doesn't look half bad even in low resolutions.
