Thanks! I recall searching up that link before, but it's good to see what Caecilia looks like. It likely behaves similarly to some of the other slab-serif options available. That said, it is probably pretty good, though I don't think it'll be all that amazing.

I took some quick snaps of my e-reader screen with a few different fonts on it as well.

1. Arno Pro (not perfect and not a slab-serif, but plays pretty well at 10pt and is very readable)

2. Grandesign Neue Serif (free font I stumbled across, a bit oversized but pretty clean looking on the reader)

3. Chaparral Pro (decent and consistent)

I was going to show more, but I've only set that pdf file up for those 3 fonts at the moment. Centro Slab (also called Agora Slab) is another very good font, but it's a little square for my tastes.

Unfortunately my tripod is a bit oversized and to get in really close would involve a lot of extra work, so I didn't get to show very closely how the edges look, but they're not too bad.

Oh, and woops! I didn't realize that replacing the font would wipe all the italics!
