The studies that show an advantage for serif fonts are old, and were done with printed samples. I doubt their conclusions apply to the screen.

- pavlov 6y agoI don't think it's obvious either way. Reading on paper vs. high-DPI screens isn't that different. Text-oriented software like Kindle and Medium default to serif fonts, but I don't know if they have any research to back that up. I suppose Amazon's usability people might have even bothered to look into that. Of course a large part of this is simply that you read fastest what you read the most.
