I have 13 font families installed and rotate through them changing the font when I start a new book. I'm currently using Comic Sans which probably makes people cringe. I like it though.

There's nothing wrong with Comic Sans, other than its abuse. I prefer serif fonts for reading, though (sans-serif fonts are better for presentations and titles).

Someone at work sent me an email in Comic Sans. I started a rumour they were cheating on their husband.

What a coincidence. It was my Scottish girlfriend that suggested I give Comic Sans a try.

Verdana. Not original, but who cares? It is, as far as I know, the easiest in the eyes font (it was designed with that purpose in mind). It is also clean and relatively elegant.

May I suggest CANDARA - I use it in bold on my Cybook and find it effective in low light.

+1 for Constantia, looks nicer on the page than a san serif font, and yet still scales down small and clear enough to allow plenty of text per page

If maximum amount of clear and distinct text per page was my only criteria, then I'd go with Calibri

Granted I am a bit new to this device, but I have used comic sans almost exclusively.
