JSWolf, here are the screen shots for the Agatha Christie story, before and after stripping out the embedded font. The (embedded) picture shows the Fontin very nicely, but interestingly enough, the (device) picture shows the Charis..... NOT BOLDED.

I confess this is unexpected. This would seem to indicate that the culprit is NOT the PRS+ software but rather something in the individual book CSS files? But this is the FIRST book out of dozens I've tested that hasn't gone all bolded on me. I'm even more confused now than before!
I noticed something, the middle picture *(device).jpg is NOT using Charis. It looks like it's using the Sony default font.

What would really help is pictures with fonts on XL setting. The easiest way to tell the difference between two fonts is the y's. Looking that the y in the picture, the 'tail' looks too thin to be Charis.
