Serif, sans serif ? Size, sharpness, weight?

Also, for reading scientific articles (with math formulas, algo, etc), what font settings could you recommend?

Note: I don't like Kobo Nickel: it does look too round to me, and the serif are too big.
My personal preference is a modified version of the Charis SIL font (slightly larger and darker) or Deja Vu Serif. I set the line height to 1.1 in all the stylesheets that I can access (i.e. any DRM free epub).

However, fonts, spacing, margins, etc. are all very personal items.
