One other thing; am I better keeping books to "web safe" serif fonts: Times, Palatino and Georgia. Or is using, say, Baskerville, Plantin, Bembo, etc. risky? Would some devices use fallback to a web safe serif font?

Cheers,

If you want to use a particular font in your book, you have to embed it in the book.

Font embedding is not a good idea anymore, as many readers have user-selectable fonts these days. Embedding a font for the body text will usually disable this feature.

Font embedding is useful when used for titles, letters, newspaper clips, etc., that is, when you want to differentiate a portion of text from the main text of the book.
