I use a customized version of Adobe's Garamond Premier Pro Medium.

I love the design of Adobe's Garamond family, but it's a very thin font. The "Medium" base is good for 300dpi eInk, and I edited the font files for the "SemiBold" weight to be bold for "Medium".

For eInk displays with lower resolution, or if you want a bit more weight, the "Caption" variant is just a bit darker and looks better to me.
