I use Futura Lt Bt and nothing more. It is funny how picky one gets, given the chance. I used to read anything in any size, but now I can choose, I get lazy towards anything I have not changed into Futura.

Still, you should pick your own font. This is a rather personal issue.

Right now I create the books with Word and turn them into PDFs with embedded fonts. The page turns are really fast and the edition remains unaltered.

My config constants are these:

Word page: 9x11,7 cm.
Margins: Top: 0,6, Bottom, -0,2, Left: 0,3, Right:0,2 Header: 0,1 Foot:0,0.
Font: Futura Lt Bt, 13 points. Header: 8 points itallic. Titles: whatever.
Paragraphs: justified with 0,2 cm bled, 3points post paragraph space.
Cover: 765x588 mm at 166 dpp

Once done, you print to PDF and crop all pages: Top:0; Bottom:180; Sides:60.

The result is perfect (IMHO).

The Drawback, if any, is the increased file size, which for me is none of an issue since it affects nothing except the number of books you can store.

Once you are done
