Just ask Kovid? or go through the process to convert to mobi and thence to kindle, and go through the nook conversion process for Barnes&Noble nook books and just see if they get accepted?
If you are creating something for publishing my advice don't use internal fonts unless really necessary as most users prefer to use their own fonts and settings. And one of the major reasons they actually bought a reader is so they can change formatting and fonts. Hardcoding fonts will ruin the reading experience for many of these users.
If you are making it for personal use then I can't say much as you are using kindle and I don't know anything about it. Except it doesn't read epubs.
