Reading books isn't a problem because the serif fonts are tiny black printed letters on paper. Serif helps the small letters stand out. A computer screen doesn't share the same type size issues. When combined with high contrast, I favor the sans and am surprised anyone would prefer serif if given choice. A monitor with less than 200 ppi isn't blurry! If interested, here's the exact moment recently I thought "oh how I dislike serif fonts".... I think I bailed half way through... https://blog.thenewoil.org/why-to-care-about-privacy-after-years-of-sharing-data https://blog.thenewoil.org/why-to-care-about-privacy-after-y...

At typical laptop distance, 200 dpi is around where you can start to see individual dots. This varies by individual of course, but I think that’s more-or-less right. That’s blurry. It’s also where font hinting starts to matter. Your example seems perfectly fine to me, and is easy and pleasant to read. I’m reading on a Surface Pro 3 that came out in 2014, that I bought on Ebay for $200 and put Linux on. It has a non-blurry screen, as do all phones these days. Non-blurry screens are essential for reading text, and no longer confined to the wealthy. Hallelujah!
