The way I specified removing the embedded fonts is the best way currently to remove embedded fonts so you can select the one you want to use. A lot of eBook embed Charis SIL and if that's the case, all of those can go easily.

But a good example is The Martian where it uses a monospace font that really should be there.
We don't read the same books. I've used Moon Reader before I got my Kobo which does exactly this. Overdrive app does this also so I prefer it this way.

I read Romance novels, Cozies and Urban Fantasy. They don't need fancy fonts or layouts. My Kobo Glo HD is too small for non fiction books that have a complex layout for those I use my tablet.

I'm not into science fiction either.
