One of the unexpected pleasure of the Sony Reader is that you can change the default font of the reader. I used the Boroda firmware hack. For those interested in changing fonts,

and then followed the directions here for changing the fonts by changing userstyle.css.

I see in the forum posts other ways are using PRS+ or using Calibre. Regardless of how you change the fonts, what are your favorite fonts for ereading?
I'm currently using Georgia. Some thoughts on other fonts seen or used:
- Times (Sony Reader default): okay at medium to large sizes, but could have more body. Bit too narrow.
- Palatino: too lightweight
- Caecilia (used on Kindle 3): looks good, but I prefer a font that's more serif. Caecilia looks too much like it's from a typewriter.
- Droid (packaged in the hack): Looks too stylized. Prefer more serif characteristics.
What font is the best for ereading?
