It's a bit like the variety in eink devices, though. It can depend on how the HTML tags controlling the embedded font have been set up. Applying the embedded font to a <span> may have a better chance of surviving than applying to a <p> or <div> if a user has also enabled a 'Customise font' option for the main body text.
I did think about getting the new FireHD10. If I was to someday get an Andorid tablet, it would be good to know what app I'd need to read ePub.
