It's kind of funny watching this argument because to be blunt, well, you're BOTH right.
MOST books (paper or digital) are simply a long stretch of prose, paragraph after paragraph. While publishers may like to take a lot of care in selecting fonts, sizes, spacing, etc, in order to distinguish a book or to give it a distinct "feel", it doesn't generally REALLY matter to anybody but the reader.
SOME books can be nearly unreadable without at least SOME publisher-defined formatting. I have read science fiction novels with conversations between three or more aliens, and the only way to distinguish the speaker was with the printed font. If I'd had an electronic reader with a forced font, this book would have been nearly impossible to understand.
That being said, the best way to handle it is with some kind of "advanced settings" toggle button, where the reader can choose to use their personal preferences to override the publisher, or else view it as the publisher intended.
