The Kindle's Bookerly is also a good one.
So using serif fonts on an ereader is not a lost cause.

I don't like most of the serif fonts, even when I'm reading a newspaper
.
And don't forget: since computers entered our world, decades ago, people got used to sans serif reading on digital devices. I simply reads a lot easier on screen then serif fonts.
If I don't add my own fonts, I don't have any clue about the fonts that will be embedded by Kobo, Kindle or Smashwords. ChareInk and Bookerly is no Google font, nor is it installed on my computer... And Caecilia still is a serif font
