Think to edit a copy of the books.
However, some books can have style embedded in the same files as the book's text and if they are DRM encrypted, you can't change those without removing the DRMs first.
Thanks. I'm clear on how to do that but what I don't understand is the inconsistency - the three books I can successfully change the font in also have a font-family defined in the EPUB.
It also appears the vast majority of EPUB files do have a font-family defined. Which SONY must be aware of. Yet, we have the ability to change fonts within through the reader, suggesting it's something that would work more often than not. If not every time.
I'm a bit hesitant to go through my entire library and remove the font-family without understanding the problem better.
