They could provide custom fonts as an experimental feature, stating that not all fonts work well on e-ink, and that you must try yourself to see if your chosen font is any good.

Making the feature experimental makes sure they don't have to support it, just like it is with the browser. If it works, fine. If it doesn't for some site or another, Amazon won't help you with it... because it's experimental.
