That may be true, but Caslon probably wouldn't look that good at the relatively low resolution of current E-ink devices (~166dpi). As already mentioned the more sturdy typefaces are a better choice for the Sony Reader (such as Caecilia, Constantia and Dolly).

By the way, I'm not a fan of Caslon, I prefer Garamond and Palatino in print.
