If all you're doing is throwing together an epub or something, then I guess it doesn't really matter what font you use, as long as you can read it and tolerate it. Luckily, with current ebook readers, you can't really get much nuance out of fonts anyways, so I suppose it's all a bit futile.
O brother, it sure makes a difference; even on my smartphone
But I'm with you on that most commercial fonts are business oriented. After all, past a certain point, the difference just fades away in the passionate eye.
