Closest metaphor I can come up with would be Sony only providing hirigana and katakana fonts but no kanji fonts ... yes, I know missing bold and italic is not even close to being that extreme (especially when they can be embedded with ePub), but in this day and age, not providing at least one complete font family with decent Unicode coverage just seems silly (yes, Amazon, I'm looking at you also) ...
