I can't tell which font is being used for this book. It does not seem to be Caecilia or Neue Helvetica. It is a nice font, with a distinctive "e". In this case, removing justification also seems to help readability.

The general approach to using a different font is to use "font face" in every <p> or <div>, for example from the User's Guide:
Code:
<p width="0em"><font face="serif">
You navigate Kindle using the select wheel, 
the cursor bar, the page turn buttons, 
the back button, and the keyboard:
</font></p>
There might be a way to use style sheets for this, but mobigen.exe will produce code like the above because the Reader does not have a global view of the file when rendering a page.
