1. No hyphenation
2. No widow support
3. No font families, just the main normal font

These issues can all be fixed in the software used to read the ebooks. The ebooks don't need any changing for this. The reading software has to do it. You change the font size and you change the layout. There is no way the ebook needs to to it as the ebook layout would then have to be fixed (no reflowing).
