Serif- EB Garamond
- Georgia
- ChareInk6
I don't do sans-serif. I usually start with something from the list above and around 5-10% into the book I place a new sans-serif substitute in. Here are the substitutes for when the embedded CSS demands it (only based on context):
Sans-serif subtitutes
- Quattrocentro(works especially well when used for texts/emails/personal notes. Faux italic is not half bad.)
- Courier New(Computer systems, errors, labels etc)
- Ubuntu(only applicable to extreme sci-fi, like Harlan Ellison stories)

My favorite is by far EB Garamond, but it needs personalization.
I haven't been able to use it on default reader of Nickel where there are tons of rendering issues. A few weeks ago I decided to give KOReader a try and with the customizations it offers, EB Garamond is back on the menu. It looks so good; but without KOReader, it's impossible.
Also worth mentioning that it doesn't work with all books, like sci-fi. But when it works, it's perfect. Reading
The Wager with EB Garamond was an absolute bliss.
