I like the heavier fonts on eInk where they are more easily readable. Too many fonts look good on a LCD display but look thin and light on an eInk screen.

I've chosen all serifed fonts here. Back when screens were in the 85-120 dpi range I often found sans serif fonts more legible, but now that dpi has reached 300dpi and up I have switched over to serifed fonts as being the more comfortable read.

For the amount of reading I do, I want the long term reading comfort but I also want legibility.
As for serif vs. san serif? My personal choice is serif but I do know some people who swear they read "better" with sans serif fonts. The only issue is that they never seem to be able for formulate exactly what "better" is.
