That is likely. Also adding them would bloat the size of the book and is unnecessary since most people prefer to choose their own reading font anyway.

There is no way that the publisher could do that. All of the formats are created at the same time from the same source file. Amazon needs the content of each Kindle format to be synchronized with the others so that things like user annotations will work across devices that use different formats.

After seeing Jon's version of the original CSS, I believe that this book fell afoul of a feature of Amazon's publishing process intended to prevent publishers from overriding the customer's font choice. It looks like they put font-family properties in the style definitions of all of the various paragraph types used in the book. That is against Amazon's rules.
