I have found that a slightly larger Roman font works best when compared to an average paperback and I reduce the width for slightly better readability.

I'd be great if iRex themselves came up with some suggestions on their site, it'd be a shame for the device to suffer what a lot of desktop publishing tools suffered in the late 90's - a powerful tool being placed in the hands of untrained users ... producing results that (arguably) damaged the reputation of the tool ....
