Not unreasonable to have a seperate font on the title page

I can see your point of view Susan.

On the other hand I don't think it's unreasonable to think that in 2014 I could have my title page and chapter headings for my series of ebooks in a different font.

I have two reasons for wanting this. I believe my book looks more professional, I personally prefer sans serif headings and title pages. Secondly, I would like my ebook to match any future printed book.

I do not want to put a lot of different fonts in an ebook, although I can't see why I shouldn't be able. I am wanting one extra font in one style.

Paper books, generally, do not exhibit the same font on the cover or title page as is found in the main text.

I think the point I am making is that plenty of other people do this, it happens to thousands of books which are, I suppose, uploaded correctly to KDP every week.

I can't see why that when I follow what I think is the correct procedure, the code validates, it looks right in KDP's own previewer once it has been uploaded, it then looks quite different on the Amazon?
