Thanks.

Explode the AZW3 file in Calibre (It's now called Unpack Book) and open the style sheet and remove all font family references.

Calibre will do this automatically if you check the fonts box under Look and Feel/Filter Style Information when converting.

The right way to remove embedded fonts is to explode the book in Calibre then delete the fonts folder. I then open the page styles sheet and remove the font references in there. I then open the Style sheet and remove all font family references. Most of the time I can skip the last step as Calibre will have done this for me if I have that fonts box checked.
