[Edit2:]Having done more testing retention of bold and italics seems to be completely random unless you select font=Original
This bit is actually mentioned in the manual under Reading>Reading Books>Appearance. "When you select other than the [Original] font, boldface/italics/italicized boldface may not work correctly."

I'm guessing Sony took some shortcuts and didn't include all the variants for the other fonts, which of course is annoying. On my Nook WiFi, you can, for instance, only get boldface on the Light Classic font, but not on Amasis.
