I myself tend to use the Times family for reading. The characters are sharp enough on my DT 375 for serifs actually to work when I'm using uBook. Georgia, of course, is another interesting possibility. Joe: I haven't forgotten that review I owe you--re the program you like. Don't be bashful about jogging me via email.

The old Courier font is dreadful for reading, although it looks quite stylish in an advertisement done in the style of the graphic attached to the story I agree with Joseph, and would actually prefer P Books with sans-serif fonts, however I do like the look of old book fonts (the type you see in Victorian novels).

I find it easier on the eyes than Arial, or even Tahoma. Although serif fonts are traditionally used in p-books, I find the sans-serif fonts better with e-books. If I wanted a serif font for reading e-books, I'd use something like Georgia. Verdana works for me for reading. I find it easier on the eyes than Arial, or even Tahoma.
