I used the list of included fonts for various readers from this website to come up with my font family fall backs, so hopefully most people will be happy.

I'm actually considering removing the font-family from all of the text in the book. My thinking is this: If I don't know what "normal" text font the user will choose, how can I really choose a header to compliment it? I'll dig around a little more to see if that's the best way to proceed,and if anyone has any advise on that matter I would love to hear it.

Thanks for setting my mind at ease! I've had to jump through so many hoops to get my PDF turned into a mobi. I'm soo glad I'm almost done!
