Georgia
EDIT: I thought it was Georgia, but I just saw a preview of a Kindle ebook and it looks like the font typeface is actually Cambria. Last edited by Gazella; 03-18-2014 at 10:08 AM. |

Thanks, I'm going to try either Georgia or Cambria. These fonts are nice to see.

Yes they are. Georgia and Cambria are both baroque serif typefaces and are the most widely used for text not only because they look beautiful but also because they're legible even at small sizes. That said, Cambria was explicitly created for on-screen reading.
If you're looking for more clear and aesthetically pleasing fonts for on-screen reading, I also recommend the following serif fonts: Times New Roman (of course)  Palatino Droid Serif Baskerville Mrs Eaves Garamond Bembo Caslon Edit: You don't seem to have the option enabled to allow Visitor Messages in your profile, just wanted to thank you for the Karma

Thanks for the additional fonts! Weird, I do have private messaging enabled, anyway, you're welcome.

No problem
Edit: not private messaging, visitor messaging. It's different. VM allows members to post straight on your profile page. And for some reason you don't have the box for that on your profile. Click my profile and you'll know what I'm referring to
