It is also proven that while sans-serif fonts are easier to read, they are so whenever printed in big sizes. But when we talk about 8-16 we are forced to accept that serif fonts are unmatched.

I really love the Linux Libertine font. Although I would not know how could it be installed in my 505, that font is still the best IMHO.
You can pick up the Windows/Mac version of Linux Libertine here and install it on your system. From there you have two choices:
  1. If you have Windows, you can install it as an embedded font in BookDesigner and create your books using it.
  2. If you have either a Windows or Mac machine you can create custom PDF files that use the font and transfer these to your Reader.

Yes, I know that both options involve creating your own books. There was some discussion about replacing the base fonts that Sony uses but I believe this avenue was cut off with a firmware upgrade some time ago.

I hope this helps.
