I will let you know how the embedded font works on the Kindle app. My Nexus just shipped!
When it works, an embedded font looks very nice in the Kindle for Android app on my Nexus 7.2. Unfortunately, there are a few books that are so poorly formatted that it won't work. But those are rare, and given enough time, you could eventually make them work. The Kindle for Android app is very elementary and lackluster compared to the built-in Kindle Fire HDX app. For example, there is no font selection and therefore no way to turn ON/OFF publisher fonts. If the book has publisher fonts they will be displayed like it or not! But the app gets the job done.

As far as the Time Left to Read feature, it will take a page or two to start working, even if it was working and you quit Kindle app and go back later, it will forget what it was registering. I've had it show 2hrs 36min on one page, then 1hr 5mins on the next page, then 3hrs 11mins on the following page. It is quite dysfunctional near the beginning of a new section or chapter, but it usually settles down and works better near the end of the chapter/section.
