I've found the solution: Garamond Premier Pro Caption. It's just enough darker than Garamond Premier Pro (which is a little darker than Adobe Garamond Pro) to be perfect for me on the Onyx Boox M92. If you need darker still, try Garamond Premier Pro Caption Medium.

Because it is an optical size for captions, this means it has a bit more white space between lines than the regular version. For many, it will be fine, but to me, it looked a bit too open, so I changed the default line spacing from 100% to 95% on the Boox, and that closed it up nicely.

Without that, though, the overall metrics (width plus line height) worked out that a book with 722 pages in Minion Pro became 720 pages in Garamond Premier Pro Caption, which is a good indicator of how "dense" the font is at a particular point size.
