Is there really an embedded font? It could be that there's nothing wrong in the book, just that the default font in the PRS-950 (and others) does not have those particular characters. Should a book contain workarounds for the case some reader does not provide a reasonably complete font (or the possibility of selecting a customized font)? I don't think so.

I'm afraid that's where the reasoning fails. It seems most publishers don't have electronic versions of the books they publish, at most they have the print-ready PDF versions they send to the printer, as others have said.
