I like Georgia on eBooks. I tried some other fonts that looked good on paper, but they were tiring on eink, even at 300 dpi. I was puzzled. Perhaps different hinting, resolution, gradation of ink etc in the published printed paperbacks. My own 1200 dpi laser was sharper than the paperback, though not as nice was far better than the eInk.
Oddly it looks better on the PW3, Kindle Keyboard, all the Kobos I've tried than on Windows or Linux in LO Writer.

The embedded Georgia and stock Georgia don't look the same on the Kobo H2O original or Libra. I don't remember if the embedded version from my Linux laptop has ligatures or not.
