Since I just got my PW2 I'm trying this out but having some difficulty.

Here's what I've done:
  • I've taken a book that's in Calibre (1.5) that only has an epub format.
  • I opened the file in Sigil and it has nothing in the fonts directory so I assume that means there are currently no embedded fonts in the epub.
  • I highlight the book in Calibre and choose convert. I change the output to AZW3.
  • I choose Look & Feel and click 'Embed font family:". I choose a very distinctive font.
  • I hit OK and wait for the conversion job to complete.
  • I plug in my PW2 and when it appears in Calibre I right-click my book and choose 'Send specific format' and make sure it's the AZW3 I'm sending.
  • eject and unplug and look at the book on the Kindle

What I'm finding is that the book looks the same as the others and I can't see any option to use 'Publisher font'. Does this appear when you hit the font button (aA) or is it under the settings somewhere? I can only see an option to do with page refresh under reading settings.

Thanks
