I know, I soooo know. It's all I've been doing since I got the new tablet! The quick way to fix it is to convert to old mobi and read it that way. It removes most of the problems if you check the right boxes in Look N Feel.

And happy birthday!
It edits the original. You just click tweak book button then choose your format the contents of the book will pop up in a folder you want the file that is style sheet with the extension .css You can use any plain text editor to edit the style sheet. I use Notepad2 which is a great free notepad replacement program.

Removing fonts though is really easy you can use the modify epub plugin to delete the fonts folder inside the book then just click the fonts box on Calibre's Look in Feel conversion window. This will remove the Font-Family style from the style sheet. That's all there is too it!
