That's a great idea, Leyor. I wish you luck with it.

I had an itch for experimentation again and decided to try out two new fonts. Of the three presented here, I'm going with Vollkorn for now with some extra line-height via CSS---I like the font very much but feels a bit cramped vertically.

Georgia (these two come with standard Windows installations)
Palatino Linotype
Vollkorn

My preference is for serif fonts with darker strokes than the default, yet I didn't like LexiaDaMa when I tried it. I don't like the Kindle's Caecilia either, so not a surprise.

EDIT: Made a mistake. Uploaded a corrected image for the Vollkorn example.
