What do you know about typography on Kindles? Baskerville is a nice font that could work well with hyphenation added in by Calibre addons but I don't know if kerning or ligatures are supported.
The problem with Kindle typography is that there is no hyphenation. And I haven't seen any kerning in any Voyage reviews I watched.

I only use Malabar among the included Kobo typefaces. It has kerning and ligatures with epubs. Other than that, I usually modify typefaces I own for my personal use. I am reading with a modified Adobe Text right now. I can't share the font files, but if one can show me any kind of proof of purchase, I can send them.

Amasis is a nice typeface, but I hate all slab serifs. I don't really have a reson for that, I simply dislike them. Malabar is awesome with epubs anyway.
