Although a sans-serif, I recently started using MS Calibri for some of my shorter texts and have started using it on my iPhone -- it seems to display well on the PRS-505. Microsoft installs this font with MS Office 2007 (Win) and also Office 2008 (Mac).

I've tried numerous times to get Minion Pro to display well on the PRS-505 and never really managed at any usable size. Myriad displays reasonably OK.
For some reason I never liked Calibri much and instead opted for others. Scala Sans, TheSans, Kievit, Meta, even Trade Gothic. Of course, I don't care for sans serif for novels typically, and instead keep with the ones I mentioned earlier.
Nothing looks amazing on e-ink though because e-ink is a pretty awful medium. However, it's nice to sometimes try to pretend it's not just a calculator with slightly better resolution, and a good typeface sometimes helps me distance myself from the hardware limitations and delude myself into thinking I'm reading a book.
Oh,
Dolly works reasonably well too.
