I don't know about the EPUB, but there are some embedded fonts present in the Kindle version of the book. These are the ones normally used on the boilerplate page that Penguin adds to the end of their books: "What’s next on your reading list? Discover your next great read!"

Although the fonts used on that page are still present in the KF8 version of the book the corresponding font-family properties needed to call them out have been removed, just like they were in the rest of the book. They are present and working in the KFX version of the book.

It looks like whatever part of Amazon's publishing workflow removed font-family from that book (1) it did it in a very heavy handed fashion and (2) it did it only for KF8 format. This is the first book I have seen that was neutered in this way. I don't know whether that is something recent or if it has always worked that way.
