I don't care about the default font of an e-reader and I would never try to force my own font choice to the reader. It's only about special paragraphs that need special fonts.
I have e.g. published an ebook about typing and formatting screenplays for the German market. In one chapter I explain the basic rules on how to do punctuation etc. correctly. For every explanation I add a short example. These examples already have an indent to separate them from the runnig text, but it would be even clearer if they could also be in a typewriter-styled font.
You could try American Typewriter. But whatever font you choose, make sure it looks good on an eInk screens one with 300DPI and one with a resolution of 800x600. It the font works on both, then it's OK to use.
