Manichean,
Thank you for your comment.
The only point I was making is that if a writer/publisher is able to use multiple fonts (embedded or therwise), then it offers more creative possibilities. I've read hard copy books which use a different font style/colour/size for things like headings, footnotes, quotes or for highlighting a particular point, but with Kindle's format I can't see that is possible.
With comics, I take your point that they are images, but simply taking a paper format (such as a comic) and then making it electronic seems to miss some of the possibilities which ePublishing could offer (things like animating the individual frames, having dialogue appear in the order it is spoken etc). Whilst some of these ideas may not work with the current hardware technology (such as Kindle devices), if the file format doesn't allow this kind of expirimentation, when the hardware catches up we'll never be able to find out if it works.
All the best.
Nigel.
