A Reader doesn't have quite the weight added that ADE does, but it's still heavier (at least, to my eye). I still like Minion.
eInk tends to add a small amount of weight to the font (not sure if this is by design - to aid legibility - or a result of the anti-aliasing used), and I think ADE is trying to simulate that. The result is that 'book' fonts, which are slightly heavier, end up being a bit too heavy on a Sony Reader. Regular-weight Garamond looks fine though.
