The caveat is you lose the ability to differentiate normal from bold text, but in the books I read that really isn't much of an issue. About the only text that is bolded are headings and those still stand out.
I just use a different font family for bold and bold italic. This really makes those text stand out. Also breaks up the monotony and add some flair. The dictionary, for example, is easier to read because the words and definitions are very distinct.
