What font do you prefer for reading and why? And do you generally prefer larger font sizes than standard, or smaller? Or does it perhaps depend on the situation.
Yes, it varies with the situation, and I regard that as a major benefit of an eBook over a paper book. In poor light, or if I'm tired, I can switch to a larger font size to make it easier on the eyes or, on the other hand, if I'm reading poetry, I can use a smaller font size to avoid line wrapping. I generally read using the "Georgia" font, which is a Microsoft serif font specifically designed to look good on low-resolution devices.
