Those are just the same fonts I've been using on my old 505, and now on my 650. The font in the Kindle seems to be just a little bit thinner than these, but not as thin as the standard Caecilia versions.

I have other .css and fonts to choose in the reader... but I alwasys stick to these....

I once compared a friend's Kindle 3 with my PRS-505 with those fonts installed, and the difference between the two devices (display-wise) was not so evident.
Since then, he always recommends buying Kindle OR Sony
