What I meant was that it's not clear to me how it would be practical to change fonts in a document which might contain several different fonts. ie which font would you change? The ability to change font seems to be associated, almost inevitably, with the requirement that a document only contain a single font. ie the inability to change font is, in a sense, due to the
lack of the restriction that a document only contain one font.

as to the "benefit" of having multiple fonts, well...
to me, this just means that instead of having all the text
in the one font that i prefer, because i can read it best,
i have it in multiple fonts that i don't prefer because i
cannot read them best.
if that's a "benefit", you can keep it...

There are many books in which it is advantageous to use different fonts. Eg, in a programming textbook, one would probably want to have the main text of the book in a proportional font, but the code listings in a monospaced font. The Reader can do that - MobiPocket can't.
