Interesting! Did you buy 11/22/63 from B&N? Do different characters use different fonts or something? Do you know what fonts they are? 11/22/63 is never going to be a library ebook and I'm probably never going to buy the ebook (I am curious to read it, but I I don't pay that much for ebooks!)
I have only seen Charis SIL embedded in Overdrive epubs. (And Overdrive epubs can be formatted differently from the ones you buy.) I'm guessing part of it is the license, Charis SIL has a very liberal license so you can use it pretty much anywhere for free. If you embed a commercial font you have to pay for the font usage. I have seen "really special formatting" like words overlapping in the book "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and they just did it as an image.
