If I'm writing then I think I prefer a sans serf font because it works on a wider range of screens. Apparently I read somewhere that teenagers can now read san serif fonts as quickly as serif ones which is sort of interesting as you read by the shape of a word and the serifs help older people especially recognise the shape of the word.
The other consideration is it ought to be a font that is available on many different devices and that is more difficult. At least we don't have to pay for size of type in a typeface these days.

I think you're not paying attention to what Quoth mentioned--what he's saying is sure, fine, embed a font for yourself if you wish--but leave the font choice for the reader--of whatever age--to the reader.
AT Amazon, FWIW, if you try to force the font choice, you'll receive a KQN and be told to fix the book, or worse. Just...thought I should mention that.
