There's still a good reason for serif? Century gothic is my everything though

I write novels so a serif font is much better for longform fiction, I find.

I feel like sans is still more ... breathable?... in print too, but there's probably more than one reason no one pays me to make such decisions. Therein lies the beauty of ebooks

Serif fonts have been shown to be much more readable. The serifs lead the eye from letter to letter.

Sans serif fonts are the best for dyslexia, including calibri.

Calibri’s still ugly, but I’ll reconsider my stance on text in Arial.

I hadn't considered that sans serif fonts like Calibri might be better for readability and dyslexia, so huge thanks for this discussion... I don't like how it looks but I like what it does, in that case.

I had read the opposite, that serifed fonts were better for dyslexia; but this reading predated ebooks. There was a consideration of pixelation too (fine details need high DPI). At least with Kobos and Kindles the reader can choose.

A quick google confirms that sans serif fonts seem better and I’ve been informed this by a number of dyslexic people.
