all that the book has to do is NOT try to enforce a font, so that the reader device can take control
( same goes for line heights, margins, justification )

can't speak for i phones, don't have one... but the apple philosophy is all users are idiots, lock everything down... so forcing any font to show up on an apple device may be problematic.
I have sometimes left in some fonts if they are for decoration say the chapter titles.
