Or perhaps most people genuinely just don't care. I've never bought paper books on the basis of what typeface they use, and I would never base my decision on what ebook reader to buy on that consideration either. I simply don't care about it. For me, the story is what matters, not what font it's displayed in. I have never changed from the default font on any of the many ebook readers I've owned. I don't have a clue what the default font on my Kindle PW2 is; whatever it is, I'm perfectly happy with it.
