After all, Microsoft and Apple could care less what fonts you put on computers running their operating systems. They make no attempt to police your usage of fonts. Neither should Amazon.

And it is true that some fonts that look good on a computer or tablet look like poop on a Kindle (or any eInk reader). Once again Amazon could use legal mumbo jumbo that states user fonts might not look well or work properly and that they are not responsible if that occurs.

Or, they could just say nothing. How many people know or care about the font trick?
