Those of us who have been forced into modifying epubs to get a nice readable font, are faced with a choice. I tried many before I was completely happy.
Here's a nice informative article of the subject

In the end, I have chosen a sans-serif font called Calibri that I found in my Windows installation. I wonder if this is the one Cailibre uses/installed?
Here's the css I added via calibre (based on the thread here about what works for Sony).
Code:
@font-face {
font-family: "Constantia";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///abook/fonts/CALIBRI.TTF);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Constantia";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///abook/fonts/CALIBRIB.TTF);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Constantia";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///abook/fonts/CALIBRII.TTF);
}
@font-face {
font-family: "Constantia";
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///abook/fonts/CALIBRIZ.TTF);
}
body { font-family: "Constantia", serif;}
Have you chosen a favourite font? Which font do you think works best on the eInk screen?
