Hi

I am still using an old PRS-505, so I am not aware of the latest advances in ebook-readers.

But, considering what has been said above, it seems there is a choice to be made by EPUB producers:
- either to create a font-free EPUB (or nearly free) and let the reader choose its own font(s) according to its own tastes and material.
- or to create an EPUB with fonts included, maybe even adding carefully chosen embedded fonts (special characters, and/or smallcaps etc.) to avoid producing a bloated EPUB.

Logically this would lead to two EPUB types. I wonder which side has the majority among current MR ebooks? Naked ones. Clothed ones?

Would it not be wiser to publish EPUBs in two versions? How many people do it here? Is it the way to go?
